The Baltimore Orioles can make a statement this offseason if they make a trade for this star and use a key young player to do so.
Brian Burrows of Birds Watcher argues that the Baltimore Orioles should pursue a blockbuster trade for Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte this offseason.

Marte has $89.25 million remaining across the final five years of his contract, which includes a 2031 player option. However, Burrows notes that acquiring the 33-year-old switch-hitter would require Marte to waive his full 10-and-5 no-trade rights to permit a move to Baltimore.
