Ketel Marte resolution expected ‘shortly’ after months of trade speculation: Diamondbacks GM
NY Post
One of the premier players reportedly available this offseason will soon learn his fate.
Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen said the organization will expedite a decision on whether or not to trade All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte, whose name has been floated all offseason.
“We’re very likely to put an end to this shortly,” Hazen told MLB.com on Tuesday without specifying a timeline.
“But this isn’t going to continue to linger,” Hazen added. “We need to focus our offseason. Again, my gut this whole time was that [a trade of Marte] wasn’t going to happen, and I think it seems likely that that’s the case and we want to focus on other things we need to do.”
Marte, 32, is coming off a strong 2025 when he slashed .283/.376/.517 with 28 home runs and 72 RBIs across 126 games, en route to his second straight Silver Slugger Award.
