D’Backs Notes: Marte, Drury, Rodney

By Mark Polishuk | December 15, 2017 at 12:12am CDT

The latest from the desert, as per Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic…

  • According to a source on a rival team, Ketel Marte is the only infielder that the Diamondbacks aren’t willing to consider in trade offers.  Splitting his first season with the D’Backs between Triple-A and the big leagues, Marte tore up minor league pitching and then hit .260/.345/.395 over 255 plate appearances for Arizona.  Marte, one of the key parts of Arizona’s big multi-player swap with the Mariners last year, is clearly seen as the shortstop of the future, plus he will be under team control through 2022 as a probable Super Two player.
  • The infielder drawing the most buzz may be Brandon Drury, who has received interest from more than a half-dozen teams.  The Yankees were reportedly talking about Drury and D’Backs starter Patrick Corbin during the Winter Meetings.
  • The D’Backs were linked to former closer Fernando Rodney on the rumor mill, though they didn’t make Rodney an offer before he agreed to join the Twins today.  Arizona still has offers out to multiple free agent relievers, GM Mike Hazen said on Monday.
  • In other Diamondbacks news from earlier today, the team checked in with the Orioles about Manny Machado…the Yankees discussed Jacoby Ellsbury with the D’Backs, who aren’t too keen on Ellsbury’s contract…three teams are interested in a Zack Greinke trade, though talks with a fourth club (the Rangers) have reportedly gone nowhere.

    Jacoby’s kind of like a song you like, good a first, but then 21 milion dollars later it kind of gets old.

      He was like that even before he was getting paid that much in Boston IMO.

          Probably just meant to say “he was like that in Boston, before he was getting paid that much”.

      Ellsbury was good 6-7 years ago and has been trash ever since. That’s what massive contracts do.

    Greinke should go to Rockies. Im a Yankees fan btw. I know he has issues with a lot of attention. Rangers are a big market team.

      Rangers don’t have any talent in comparison to Grienke’s skill level. Trade won’t happen.

    Yankees need to stop thinking some random team exists that will be happy to take the garbage contracts they signed off their hands, while simultaneously giving the Yankees their best players. NY needs to grow up, and stop drinking it’s own kool-aid.

      Well the Dodgers took all of the Red Sox garbage contracts. They took Crawford and Gonzalez. If Arizona really wants to cut Greinke’s contract they should take back Ellsbury as we it saves them 50%. The Yankees can move Greinke to a third team as he would never play in New York. Would St. Louis bite on trade for Greinke and Chad Green?

        Why do most yankee fans forget that ellsbury has a FULL NO TRADE CLAUSE?

        Seriously, he isnt going to wave it to be sent to a team unless its a serious ws contender

        He’s 34, making 21 mill each the next couple seasons. Assuming there were suitors the yankees would be eating 70% of the contract anyways or attaching prospects to his contract assuming he waves his ntc

          Do you really think a professional athlete making 21 mill wants to sit on the bench this year and the remainder of his contract? Get real. He will be playing somewhere else after the Yanks eat a big chunk of his contract.. (By the way, the word is spelled “waive”.)

    Ketle Marte is the only infielder not available in trade talks? What about Goldy and Lamb?

        Lamb would be available in the right deal. Check his splits. He’s settled into being a good glove platoon hitter. His flaws are becoming more evident.

    We take Goldy and Grienke you take Price, Devers and Hanley. The R Sox need to move one of their L Handers. We get a good R H in return. We move Devers for Goldy and you take Hanley and his contract.
    This could be expanded. their management knows the Sox system well enough to negotiate something.

      Goldy is a big part in Arizona while Devers is the future I believe lamb would be a better option. Price is stuck in Boston for the rest of his contract like Grenkie im Arizona. Plus there is no spot for Ramirez in Arizona

        DBacks best prospect is Pavin Smith and I doubt he’s considered a “stud” enough to get Betts from Boston

    D’backs will Trade Yasmany Tomas to the Yankees for Gregorius, Gray and Betances.

    Ridiculous isn’t it? I hope you realize that Greinke and Goldy for the trash you would give back is even more ridiculous than this!

    As far as Greinke goes, the Rangers should be out of the circle to sign the “ace” because they don’t have the talent – unless they dump their entire farm talent – to acquire him.
