3 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks and outfielder Ketel Marte have been engaged in extension talks, according to FanSided's Robert Murray. He has one year (plus two club options) remaining on his contract, but it appears there is mutual interest towards striking a long-term deal. It's an important development out of Arizona considering Marte's name has been floated in trade talks from time to time. The Diamondbacks could get a haul for the 28-year-old, but they would undoubtedly prefer to keep him under contract as their starting center fielder (and occasional second baseman) for as long as possible. In 2021, Marte slashed .318/.377/.532 while finishing near the top of the league in xBA, xwOBA, and exit velocity. Now, RotoBaller's latest rankings list him as the No. 23 outfielder heading into 2022 fantasy drafts.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller
