Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen had already confirmed his willingness to listen to offers for the player.\n\nAccording to information, several MLB teams have shown strong interest in acquiring the 32-year-old player.\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Boston Red Sox<\/li>\n<li>Toronto Blue Jays<\/li>\n<li>Seattle Mariners<\/li>\n<li>Tampa Bay Rays<\/li>\n<li>Possibly the Philadelphia Phillies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\nAdditionally, it has been reported that the Cincinnati Reds are also evaluating the possibility of making a move for the veteran infielder.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured Season of Mars<\/h2>\n\n\nMars is coming off an outstanding season in 2025, proving his worth on the field.

He will receive US$91 million for the next five seasons, with a player option of US$11.5 million after 2030. This contractual situation, combined with his productivity, makes Arizona expect a considerable package in any negotiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brandon Lowe Also on the Radar<\/h2>\n\n\nAnother second baseman generating interest in the trade market is Brandon Lowe, of the Rays. The possibility of Tampa Bay moving him has increased during the Winter Meetings.\n\nThe Rays recently exercised the club option for US$11.5 million for 2026, and Lowe will be a free agent at the end of that campaign. Cincinnati is among the interested teams, and the Pittsburgh Pirates have also talked with the Rays about a possible deal.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Active Market for Second Base<\/h2>\n\n\nWith several teams looking to reinforce the middle infield and with high-level options like Marte and Lowe available, this winter is shaping up to be a period of great activity for the position.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Error en el proceso de traducci\u00f3n Interest in Dominican second baseman Ketel Marte continues to rise, according to recent reports.
