Ketel Marte inked a five-year, $76 million extension with Arizona. The swiss-army knife, who can play both middle infield positions as well as center field, had a seven WAR season as recently as 2019, and slashed .318/.377/.352 last year. This new contract gives Arizona’s star player more financial security, but will be looked back upon as a bargain if his production holds up.

Albert Pujols has been linked to the St. Louis Cardinals, the team by whom he was drafted in 1999 and with whom he played the first 11 years of his legendary career. Read Katie Woo of The Athletic’s full story here.
