Overview
- MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reports Arizona is actively taking calls on the All-Star infielder, with the Phillies and Blue Jays among teams that have inquired.
- Morosi characterizes the chances of a trade as at least 50-50, while noting nothing is close at this stage.
- General manager Mike Hazen says a deal remains mostly unlikely unless the return is a blockbuster.
- Roster and budget factors are driving the evaluation, with rotation gaps after Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly departed and Corbin Burnes rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, plus potential savings of roughly $15 million.
- Marte, 32, is signed through 2030 with a 2031 player option, posted a .283/.376/.517 line with 28 homers in 2025, and the Phillies and Blue Jays are not on his current no-trade list.
