Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: In talks with team
Marte and the Diamondbacks are engaged in talks about a contract extension, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Marte is under contract for this season with the team holding options for the next two seasons. News of the negotiations was first reported by Robert Murray of Fansided. Since then, Jon Heyman of MLB Network added further details, indicating the option years will be guaranteed plus another three more years. The Diamondbacks understand how important Marte is to their offense. He was a key piece in 2019, when Arizona made a late push for a wild-card spot, and he slashed .318/.377/.532 with an OPS+ of 143 over 90 games in 2021, though his season limited by hamstring injuries. The organization has taken steps to minimize the chances of injury by moving him to second base full time in 2022.
