Ketel Marte trade off the table? Diamondbacks GM has update amid MLB rumors The Arizona Diamondbacks will not be trading star second baseman Ketel Marte, general manager Mike Hazen said on Friday, Jan. 9.

JANUARY 9 • USATODAY.COM

Ketel Marte - Will not be traded by Diamondbacks The Diamondbacks will not trade Marte this offseason, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Diamondbacks have fielded trade interest in Marte throughout the offseason, but general manager Mike Hazen indicated recently that there was a soft deadline at which point the club would no longer consider offers, and evidently it's reached that point. Marte slashed .283/.376/.517 with 28 home runs in 2025 and is owed $102.5 million over the next six seasons. He'll be back at second base for Arizona in 2026.

Pavin Smith - Agrees to terms with D-Backs Smith (quadriceps) signed a one-year, $2.25 million deal with the Diamondbacks to avoid arbitration Thursday, Jack Sommers of DBacks on SI reports.

Impact Smith missed nearly all of the second half of the 2025 season with a combination of oblique and quadriceps injuries. He'll likely begin the 2026 campaign on the strong side of a platoon at first base, assuming he returns to health.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

A.J. Puk - Agrees to deal Puk (elbow) agreed to a one-year, $3.1 million deal with the Diamondbacks to avoid arbitration Thursday, Jack Sommers of DBacks on SI reports.

Impact Puk was limited to only eight appearances in 2025 and underwent Tommy John surgery in mid-June. He's expected to miss most of 2026, but might be able to contribute in the final couple of months.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Ryne Nelson - Reaches deal with Arizona Nelson and the Diamondbacks agreed to a one-year, $3 million contract to avoid arbitration Thursday, Jack Sommers of DBacks on SI.com reports.

Impact Nelson was arbitration eligible for the first time and is set for a $2.2 million raise from last season. He posted career-best results in 2025 and is poised to be a key member of Arizona's rotation for the upcoming campaign.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Jake McCarthy - Agrees to $1.5 million deal McCarthy agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Diamondbacs to avoid arbitration Thursday, Jack Sommers of DBacks on SI reports.

Impact McCarthy has been mentioned as a trade candidate this offseason, but he's stuck with the Diamondbacks thus far. He currently projects to serve on the strong side of a platoon in left field, though he'll need to improve significantly to retain that role after posting a 60 wRC+ across 222 plate appearances in 2025.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Ginkel - Reaches deal with D-Backs Ginkel (shoulder) agreed to a one-year, $2.7 million deal with the Diamondbacks to avoid arbitration Thursday, Jack Sommers of DBacks of SI reports.

Impact Ginkel is in the final year of arbitration eligibility, and he earned a modest raise of $300,000 from 2025. He was shut down for the season in early August, and it's unclear whether he'll be ready to throw at the start of spring training.

Thomas Hatch - Invited to D-backs' camp Hatch signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training.

Impact After spending the 2024 season in Japan, Hatch returned to MLB in 2025 but struggled to find success, finishing the year with a 5.82 ERA and 1.68 WHIP across 34 innings between the Royals and Twins. The 31-year-old will now aim to bounce back with the D-backs, but he'll likely have to prove himself at Triple-A Reno before getting a chance to join Arizona's pitching staff.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Gabriel Moreno - Settles with Arizona The Diamondbacks and Moreno avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.55 million contract Thursday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact It's a nice raise for Moreno, who was eligible for salary arbitration for the first time. The catcher was limited to 83 games due to injury in 2025 but had his best offensive season, slashing .285/.353/.433 with nine home runs. Moreno -- who turns 26 in February -- has breakout potential in 2026 if he can stay healthy.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Alek Thomas - Settles with Diamondbacks The Diamondbacks and Thomas avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.9625 million contract Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Thomas was in his first year of arbitration eligibility. The 25-year-old is regarded as a plus defender in center field but has not progressed offensively, finishing 2025 with a .249/.289/.370 batting line. If he's still with the team on Opening Day, Thomas figures to again receive the bulk of the reps in center field.
