Ketel Marte has Yankees on no-trade list with some of baseball’s worst teams
NY Post
The Yankees never seemed to be real players for Ketel Marte, but any small potential of acquiring him has another hurdle.
The Diamondbacks star has the Yankees among five teams on his no-trade list, along with the Athletics, Pirates, Giants and Cardinals, The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reported on Monday.
Marte is one of the top position players who could be dealt this offseason, with six years and $102.5 million remaining on his contract.
And while the 32-year-old second baseman could always waive the no-trade clause, the Yankees do not appear likely to be involved for him as they try to find ways to improve their roster while keeping their payroll in check, if possible.
The switch-hitting Marte, who hit .283 with 28 home runs and a .893 OPS last season, would help the Yankees become more balanced in their lineup instead of too left-handed.
But it would almost certainly mean trading Jazz Chisholm Jr., who the Yankees have gotten calls on as he enters the final year of his contract, with an extension not expected to happen.
