The Toronto Blue Jays have apparently been very interested in Ketel Marte as a Bo Bichette replacement but it looks like that will not be happening according to Jon Heyman.
The Blue Jays are still uncertain on if they will be bringing Bichette back next season which is why there has been numerous rumors about potential replacement scenarios.
Blue Jays not expected to trade for Ketel Marte
During a recent Bleacher Report podcast, Heyman stated that he believes that the Tampa Bay Rays, Boston Red Sox and Seattle Mariners are the front runners to land Marte this off-season.
"I'm still sticking with either [the Tampa Bay Rays, Seattle Mariners or Boston Red Sox]," Heyman said when asked on the stream where Marte would land. "I don't think it's gonna be the [Philadelphia Phillies] or Toronto, these teams that are looking at Bregman could look at Marte, but I'm still looking at those teams. It's possible he ends up staying with the Diamondbacks too, it's not a guarantee." Said Jon Heyman
While this does not guarantee that the Blue Jays are no longer in on Marte it certainly does not help that one of the top insiders believes he will sign elsewhere.
The Blue Jays could certainly benefit from adding a player of Marte caliber, especially if they end up missing out on both Bichette and Kyle Tucker this off-season.
Toronto has made some great additions this winter but there are still a few steps away from a truly great off-season which is why going after Marte could make a lot of sense for them as he could bring in a lot of offense.
