"All-Star second baseman's no-trade list leaves door open for Blue Jays to make a deal It's easier to list the teams Marte doesn't want to play for than the ones he does. Five teams will not be getting Marte anytime soon and those teams are the West Sacramento Athletics, New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants. Which means Marte can be traded to Toronto should a deal arise."
"Marte and the Blue Jays were previously linked to each other this offseason as Toronto haven't been shy about wanting an upgrade in the middle of their infield. At this point it is a want, more than a need, as they could easily enter next season with an infield combo that has Andrés Giménez, Ernie Clement and Davis Schneider filling in at shortstop and second base."
Ketel Marte's no-trade list permits trades to twenty teams and does not include Toronto, leaving the Blue Jays as a potential destination. Five teams — the West Sacramento Athletics, New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants — are excluded from trade possibilities. Toronto has interest in upgrading the middle infield, though the need is classified as a want; Andrés Giménez, Ernie Clement and Davis Schneider could cover shortstop and second base next season. The Blue Jays are also pursuing Bo Bichette's return, with Bichette reportedly open to switching positions after playing second during the World Series following a knee injury.
