## Key points

- Toronto is interested in Ketel Marte, but a trade looks unlikely.
- Marte now has full no-trade rights.
- Philadelphia’s interest in Sato would add another left-handed hitter.

## Summary

The Blue Jays are interested in acquiring Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte, but a person with the club has played down the likelihood of a trade. Marte was shopped last winter, yet his full no-trade rights now give him control over whether he moves.

The report also mentions other teams’ pursuits: Boston is interested in Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers despite recently trading for Adley Rutschman, while Jeffers could accept a $23.15 million qualifying offer. Philadelphia likes Hanshin Tigers star Teruaki Sato and has previously offered Yoshinobu Yamamoto more than the Dodgers’ $32.5 million annual rate; Sato would add another left-handed bat to an already lefty-heavy Phillies line-up.
