"If the Red Sox want to acquire Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte, it'll almost certainly cost a pretty penny. Marte, 32, has undoubtedly been one of baseball's best second basemen and arguably one of the game's top hitters over the last few years. The switch-hitter logged a .283 batting average with 28 home runs, 72 RBIs, and a .893 OPS in 126 games last season, earning an All-Star nod for the second straight season."
"The Diamondbacks are seeking young pitching in any trade involving Marte, The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal recently reported. So, if the Red Sox are serious about wanting Marte, at least one of Payton Tolle or Connelly Early would presumably have to be included in any offer. Both pitchers had impressive moments in their first taste of MLB action this past season, and remain two of Boston's top prospects ahead of the 2026 season."
