BREAKING: Ketel Marte Will STAY in Arizona, Diamondbacks Shut Down Trade Talks Per MLB Insider

The breaking news we’ve been waiting for is finally here. Ken Rosenthal reports that the Arizona Diamondbacks have officially shut down trade talks involving Ketel Marte.

We also cover the D-backs coming to terms with all eight of their arbitration-eligible players for 2026 while coming in under estimates. Plus, the market for Zac Gallen appears to be shrinking, and that could ultimately cost the D-backs a compensatory draft pick.
