Mike Hazen Stands Firm on Ketel Marte Trade Deadline Despite Continued Interest

Arizona Diamondbacks GM Hazen reaffirmed trade talks for second baseman Marte ended on January 9, despite continued interest from teams like the Red Sox and Phillies. Hazen told MLB.com's Steve Gilbert he set the deadline "to avoid this," noting reversing course would risk his credibility. Marte has $102.5M remaining on his contract through 2031, making him an attractive trade target.
