A new year is coming, and resolution to the Ketel Marte trade sweepstakes may be coming with it. That could be good news for the Seattle Mariners, but this also seems like an opportune moment for a warning: don't get your hopes up.
Not too high, anyway. Marte is still a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks, and he seems to expect that will remain the case in 2026. He made a rather interesting post on his Instagram on Tuesday, sharing an image of him celebrating with Corbin Carroll with a caption that reads "Not good teammate" followed by a couple smiling emojis.
