The Arizona Diamondbacks are said to be shopping Ketel Marte this offseason, and suddenly the Cincinnati Reds have become a team to watch. While no MLB insider has specifically tied the Reds to the three-time All-Star, Cincinnati's need for an impact bat has led fans some to speculate that Marte would be a terrific fit.
Unfortunately, trading for Marte would be a massive mistake on the part of the Reds' front office. While it's hard to argue that Marte's bat wouldn't make the Reds better on paper, Cincinnati should keep their distance from the D-backs star this offseason.
