Last season he led the league in errors, albiet playing through a shoulder injury. The Arzona Diamondbacks are reportedly listening to offers on Ketel Marte and The Athletic&#8217;s Jim Bowden proposed this blockbuster trade to get him to the Bronx:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yankees receive: 2B Ketel Marte<\/li>\n<li>Diamondbacks receive: RHP Elmer Rodriguez (Yankees No. 3 prospect) and SS Roderick Arias (Yankees No. 20 prospect)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"11168352\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2237630208.jpg?w=1600&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 1536px, (min-width: 768px) 768px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2237630208.jpg?w=640&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 640w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2237630208.jpg?w=750&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 750w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2237630208.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1000w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2237630208.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1200w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2237630208.jpg?w=1360&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1360w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2237630208.jpg?w=1600&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1600w\" alt=\"Yankees trade idea swaps 2 prospects for $116M All-Star slugger\" width=\"4393\" height=\"2929\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Marte signed a six-year, $116 million extension before the season. He has been an All-Star in each of the last two seasons. He has also received MVP votes and won Silver Slugger Awards in both seasons. He would be a massive addition for the Yankees.<\/p>\n<p>Marte has six more seasons of club control and will make just $28 million over the next two seasons. He could be the everyday second baseman, allowing Jazz Chisholm Jr. to go back to third base. Meanwhile, the Yankees would at least have two proven infields bracketing Volpe.<\/p>\n<p>Volpe could bounce back after offseason surgery. However, his offensive numbers even before his injury were not great. If his defense cannot get back on track, the Yankees have very little reason to stick with him.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>More MLB: Mets\u2019 Devin Williams Sends Edwin D\u00edaz Message With Future in Doubt<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Yankees could be looking for offensive upgrades this winter and could look on the trade block.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":129166,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-129165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
