Insider downplays possibility of Ketel Marte trade as Red Sox remain interested

Despite the Boston Red Sox's many connections to infield free agent and trade candidates, they don't seem any closer to acquiring any of them than they were at the beginning of the offseason. A reunion with Alex Bregman has been reported to be Boston's top priority, but his asking price could change that in a flash.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte ranks high on the Sox's list of infield targets. He's one of the best second basemen in the game and would give Boston an experienced, consistent bat and a solid defender at a position that has long been a revolving door in its lineup.
