Make New York Post a Preferred Source Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (4) hits an RBI single against the New York Mets. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST The Blue Jays are interested in Diamondbacks star 2B Ketel Marte, via The Athletic. But a D-backs person downplayed any trade chances to The Post. He was shopped last winter, though he now has full no-trade rights.
The Red Sox’s interest in catcher Ryan Jeffers is curious because they recently traded for Adley Rutschman. Jeffers could also accept the $23.15M qualifying offer from the Twins, who want to keep him.
The Phillies, who like Hanshin Tigers star Teruaki Sato, have been trying to land a Japanese standout for a while. They’re said to have offered Yoshinobu Yamamoto a higher per-year salary than the $32.5M he got on his $325M, 10-year deal from the Dodgers.
Sato would be a nice add, but he’d also be another left-handed bat for the lefty-heavy lineup.
