Ketel Marte has become one of the best infielders in baseball, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to the World Series in 2023. His power as a switch-hitter has made him a household name in Arizona, which makes his potential availability this offseason something to keep an eye on. Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported on Monday that the Diamondbacks are “definitely motivated in moving him with $71 million remaining through 2030.”
Marte’s contract carries an average annual value of just over $19.4 million over the next five seasons, then has an $11.5 million player option for the 2031 season.
