Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Ketel Marte has issued an apology in the wake of a report about some teammates being upset about his recent absences.

With Arizona Diamondbacks superstar Ketel Marte potentially on the trade block, the Los Angeles Dodgers might emerge as a suitor for the star.

Nabil Crismatt gets the call to start for the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday, Aug. 17, at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies.

The situation has led some of the Arizona Republic’s sources to wonder if the team should trade Marte, who has been in a Diamondbacks uniform since 2017 and signed a six-year, $116.5 million contract extension in April, over the offseason.

James McCann and Ketel Marte both homered with two outs in a four-run ninth inning for Arizona to beat the Texas Rangers 6-4.

The Arizona Diamondbacks' former starter outdueled his counterpart on Wednesday, but Marte terrorized the Rangers in the ninth inning once more.
