Diamondbacks place Ketel Marte on trade block amid ongoing struggles

The Arizona Diamondbacks have officially placed All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte on the trade block as of November 2026. Marte's past unexcused absences from games have contributed to the team's decision to explore trading him, especially after missing crucial games last season that kept the D-backs out of the postseason. Marte, who is under contract for five more years with $89.25 million remaining, has veto power over trades under the 10-and-5 rule. The team has yet to discuss potential trade scenarios with Marte, who hit.249 with 22 home runs and 76 RBIs last season. The Diamondbacks are seeking significant changes after missing the playoffs for three consecutive years.
