MLB Insider: AL Contender Could Re-enter Ketel Marte Discussions

MLB Insider: AL Contender Could Re-enter Ketel Marte Discussions
World Sports · 16:10:13 - Sunday, 8 November 2026

An MLB insider reports that an American League contender may re-enter the mix surrounding Arizona Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte, according to Evan Desai of the Arizona Republic. The report, published Thursday, did not specify which AL club is involved or the nature of the potential engagement — whether trade talks, contract extension discussions, or another scenario. Marte, a two-time All-Star and 2024 National League MVP finalist, remains under contract with Arizona through 2027 with a club option for 2028. The Diamondbacks have consistently signaled they view the 30-year-old switch-hitter as a franchise cornerstone. Further details are expected as the offseason progresses.
