It’s no secret the Philadelphia Phillies are looking to add a consistent bat to their lineup this offseason. President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski has already explored multiple avenues to upgrade the offense, and according to MLB insider Jon Morosi, one of the more intriguing possibilities is Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte.
And the Snakes are listening.
Marte, a three-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger winner, remains one of the most dynamic and versatile switch-hitting infielders in baseball. His blend of bat-to-ball skills, gap power, and plate discipline continues to make him a coveted target.
At 32, Marte also brings valuable postseason experience and clubhouse professionalism, traits the Phillies covet as they aim to keep their championship window wide open. His contract, while not cheap, is team-friendly relative to his production, making him an appealing option.
Philadelphia isn’t alone in its pursuit. The Toronto Blue Jays have also expressed interest, signaling that Arizona’s openness to dealing Marte is genuine and that a competitive market may form quickly. As the offseason heats up, Marte stands out as one of the premier names to watch.
