The latest episode of the D-backs Under Review podcast dives into the latest rumors surrounding Ketel Marte and if the Tampa Bay Rays will make a run at him. The Rays have an opening at second base after trading Brandon Lowe to the Pirates in a three-team deal.
Michael McDermott discusses the latest reports on the Rays link to the D-backs All-Star second baseman, the Kyle Backhus trade to the Phillies, veteran utility infielder Ildemaro Vargas returning on a minor league deal, and reports that San Diego offered Merrill Kelly a “competitive offer” before he ultimately chose to re-up with the D-backs.
