If Milwaukee can't have him, at least the rest of the division can't either.
Ketel Marte is one of the biggest names on the trade market this offseason, though the Arizona Diamondbacks' All-Star may not be a perfect fit for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Marte, who turned 32 in October, has five years and $91 million remaining on his contract, plus an $11.5 million player option in 2031 (when he'd be 37). Paying an All-Star second baseman an average of $18 million per year is a bargain in today's baseball landscape, but durability concerns and Marte's age are likely to prove one obstacle too many for the Brewers to justify a trade.
