Diamondbacks Weigh Ketel Marte Trade Amid No-Trade List and Lockout Uncertainty

Ketel Marte remains a prominent trade possibility for the Arizona Diamondbacks, but reports differ on how actively talks are progressing. A rumor linked him to the Toronto Blue Jays, though Arizona beat writer Steve Gilbert reported no new trade discussions with the Diamondbacks’ front office and said no deal appeared close. Separately, Diamondbacks officials met with Marte’s agent but reportedly left without clarity on which teams Marte would approve, a key uncertainty given his full no-trade protection. Arizona is considering packages ranging from prospects to established major leaguers, but the looming Dec. 1 expiration of the collective bargaining agreement could pause negotiations and prolong uncertainty over the club’s offseason plans.
