Diamondbacks General Manager Drops Ketel Marte Update Amid Red Sox Interest

Key Highlights

• “But this isn’t going to continue to linger.
• 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.”The Diamondbacks reportedly have a high price tag on Marte, and Hazen knows teams may not be willing to meet their demands.
• Hazen also noted that he has not given interested teams a deadline, but they know time is running out. The Red Sox’s top target is reportedly Alex Bregman, and their interest in Marte seems to be as a backup plan.
• However, he may not be on the board much longer. The Red Sox seemingly want Bregman back, but it may require Craig Breslow to go out of his comfort zone.
