Seattle Mariners

[edit]

Marte signed with the Seattle Mariners as an international free agent on July 2, 2018.[1] He made his professional debut with the Dominican Summer League Mariners in 2019.[2] In 65 games, he hit .309/.371/.511 with nine home runs and 54 runs batted in (RBI).[3][4]

Marte did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] He split the 2021 season between the Modesto Nuts and the Everett AquaSox, slashing .273/.366/.459 with 17 home runs, 71 RBI, 28 doubles and 24 stolen bases.[6]

Cincinnati Reds

[edit]

On July 29, 2022, the Mariners traded Marte, Edwin Arroyo, Andrew Moore, and Levi Stoudt to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for Luis Castillo.[7] The Reds subsequently assigned Marte to the High–A Dayton Dragons. On November 15, 2022, the Reds added Marte to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[8]

Marte was optioned to the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts to begin the 2023 season.[9] He played in 50 games for Chattanooga, hitting .281/.356/.464 with 8 home runs, 25 RBI, and 10 stolen bases. On June 26, 2023, Marte was promoted to the Triple–A Louisville Bats.[10] On August 19, Marte was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[11] In 35 games during his rookie campaign, he batted .316/.366/.456 with three home runs, 15 RBI, and six stolen bases.

On March 8, 2024, it was announced that Marte received an 80-game suspension without pay after testing positive for Boldenone, a performance enhancing substance. He was activated from his suspension on June 27.[12]
