If you were hoping to see the Cincinnati Reds pull off a blockbuster trade for Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star Ketel Marte, prepare to be disappointed. Earlier this week, D-backs GM Mike Hazen stated that he's ready to move on from these lingering trade negotiations and get busy assembling Arizona's roster for the 2026 season.
“We’re very likely to put an end to this shortly," Hazen said. "We need to focus our offseason. Again, my gut this whole time was that [a trade of Marte] wasn’t going to happen, and I think it seems likely that that’s the case and we want to focus on other things we need to do.
