Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen announced that trade talks for second baseman Ketel Marte would cease, with a reported deadline of January 9. Despite ongoing speculation, Hazen emphasized his commitment to this decision to maintain credibility. Marte, who signed a long-term extension last April, remains an attractive target for teams like the Red Sox and Phillies, but Hazen’s high asking price and firm stance suggest he will stay with the Diamondbacks for the 2026 season.
