Overview

• Multiple local and national reports describe growing frustration among Diamondbacks players and staff over Marte’s frequent requests for days off.
• His absence followed a mid-July burglary at his Scottsdale home that resulted in about $400,000 in reported losses and a three-game personal leave after the All-Star break.
• Some teammates believe those missed games contributed to Arizona’s 1–7 late-July slump that led to a trade-deadline sell-off.
• Marte is a three-time All-Star with the third-highest career WAR in franchise history and remains under a team-friendly six-year extension running through 2030 with an option for 2031.
• Management has publicly downplayed trade speculation and affirmed its commitment to roster stability as it navigates clubhouse tensions.
