D-backs Halt Ketel Marte Trade Talks, Keep Star 2B for 2026

The Arizona Diamondbacks have decided against trading Ketel Marte this offseason, with GM Mike Hazen indicating a soft deadline for offers has passed. Marte, who posted a .283/.376/.517 slash line with 28 home runs in 2025, is owed $102.5 million over the next six seasons and will return to second base for Arizona. Despite his big numbers and team-friendly deal, he reportedly irked some teammates during the 2025 season.
