The Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> have been shopping second baseman Ketel Marte essentially since the offseason began.<\/p>\n

A trade hasn’t been forthcoming, though.<\/p>\n

It’s the kind of inactivity that could lead to a shift of gears for the Diamondbacks. Marte is still a great player. They just felt his contract might be worth moving on from.<\/p>\n

If no one else makes a suitable offer, though, Arizona might just have to stand pat.<\/p>\n

“As Diamondbacks exec Mike Hazen said the other day, he’s not going to wait much longer for a team to step up and make a suitable offer for All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte — the D-Backs, like every other team, have to start preparing for the start of spring training,” ESPN’s Buster Olney wrote on Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s still time to get a deal done, but the clock is ticking.<\/p>\n

“Hazen’s words have been read in the industry as a call for a last round of offers, and if the Diamondbacks don’t see a proposal they like — after two months of conversations, they’ll be surprised if someone makes a push — they intend to pull Marte off the trade market,” Olney writes.<\/p>\n

If Arizona heads into the season with a core of its lineup centered around Marte and Corbin Carroll, that’s not a bad start.<\/p>\n

The Diamondbacks have enough talent to be competitive. They were looking a bit toward the future with the concept of dealing Marte.<\/p>\n

But if he stays in town, Arizona can make that work, too. It’ll just be a nudge toward trying to be competitive this season.<\/p>\n
