The Blue Jays are interested in Diamondbacks star 2B Ketel Marte, via The Athletic. But a D-backs person downplayed any trade chances to The Post. He was shopped last winter, though he now has full no-trade rights.
The Red Sox’s interest in catcher Ryan Jeffers is curious because they recently traded for Adley Rutschman. Jeffers could also accept the $23.15M qualifying offer from the Twins, who want to keep him.
The Phillies, who like Hanshin Tigers star Teruaki Sato, have been trying to land a Japanese standout for a while. They’re said to have offered Yoshinobu Yamamoto a higher per-year salary than the $32.5M he got on his $325M, 10-year deal from the Dodgers.
Sato would be a nice add, but he’d also be another left-handed bat for the lefty-heavy lineup.
