It’s a significant milestone for the three-time All-Star, who made his debut in 2015 with the Seattle Mariners<\/a>. Marte’s name appeared in trade rumors<\/a> throughout the offseason, but he now controls the fate of his future in Arizona.<\/p>\n

Under the current collective bargaining agreement, players who reach 10 years of MLB service time receive full no-trade protection. The D-Backs cannot trade the two-time Silver Slugger without his consent.<\/p>\n

“General manager Mike Hazen has said a few times that talks never got especially close to a deal,” Anthony Franco of MLB Trade Rumors<\/a> wrote Friday. “He maintained throughout the winter that the front office didn\u2019t want to move Marte but needed to consider all ways to improve their starting pitching.”<\/p>\n

Marte’s current contract runs through the 2030 season, with a player option for 2031. Before Saturday’s game against the Atlanta Braves<\/a>, he owns a .167\/.265\/.267 slash line with a .531 OPS through eight games — a slow start for a hitter of his caliber.<\/p>\n
