Overview
- Marte told reporters he was frustrated after learning of a high-dollar burglary at his Scottsdale home during the All-Star break and apologized for missing the first games back.
- Manager Torey Lovullo praised Marte for addressing the issue and said the club wants to move forward, with USA TODAY reporting the team held internal meetings as part of damage control.
- USA TODAY reported Arizona will listen to offseason offers for the All-Star, while Marte’s agent Charisse Dash disputed that narrative and denied claims of clubhouse strife; the Arizona Republic previously reported some internal grumbling over his days off.
- The Diamondbacks placed Marte on the unpaid restricted list for two games after the break, and police say the burglary investigation remains active.
- Marte is under a six-year extension through 2031 and is on track to gain full 10-and-5 no-trade rights early next season, making any trade talk a longer-term, speculative discussion with no deal in place.
