Overview
- Jon Heyman reported Arizona told teams on Jan. 1 that the trading window for the All-Star second baseman will close soon, with the Red Sox, Rays and Mariners cited as bidders.
- Recent analyses predict the Diamondbacks will pull Marte off the market rather than move him this winter.
- Early-offseason interest included the Dodgers, Red Sox and Reds, but a deal is viewed as unlikely unless an exceptional offer emerges.
- Reports emphasize the acquisition cost as a massive haul that likely centers on a top-of-rotation pitcher.
- Marte boosted his value with a 2025 line of .283, 28 home runs and an .893 OPS along with All-Star and Silver Slugger honors, and he is under contract through 2030.
