2024 Fantasy Outlook
Marte's outlook changed completely in March when he was suspended 80 games for PEDs. He remains prospect-eligible after logging just 114 at-bats last season, and in that time he showed off his exciting combination of power (115.6-mph maxEV, 46.1 HardHit%), aggressiveness on the bases (6-for-8 on SB attempts) and ability to put the ball in play (77.5 Contact%). His 52.8 GB% was uncharacteristically high (45.8 GB% at Double-A, 41.6 GB% at Triple-A), and if that normalizes, he could eventually hit 25 homers in his first full season. Marte's home park, strikeout rate and stolen-base output give him a rare combination of a high floor and a high ceiling long term. Scouts were lukewarm on his defense at the hot corner while he was in the minors and that was the weakest part of his game in his big-league debut. He can make highlight plays, but it's possible he eventually moves to left field, although that probably wouldn't happen in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Suspended 80 games for PEDs
Marte was suspended 80 games by Major League Baseball on Friday for violating the joint drug prevention and treatment program, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Marte tested positive for the performance-enhancing drug Boldenone and now will be ineligible to play until well into June. The 22-year-old had been the favorite to be the Reds' Opening Day third baseman after slashing .316/.366/.456 in 35 contests for Cincinnati in 2023. Jeimer Candelario now figures to see most of his playing time at third base, while Christian Encarnacion-Strand should settle into more at-bats at first base. The Reds could also opt to use Spencer Steer more often on the infield.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Primarily playing third base
Marte has primarily been playing third base during early workouts at Reds camp, per Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
ANALYSIS
Marte exclusively played shortstop in the minors last year, but he made the transition to the hot corner in the Arizona Fall League and drew solid reviews for his defensive work there. Nightengale notes that "scouts see his future at third base compared to shortstop," as his "body type is similar to Manny Machado." The 21-year-old is still widely viewed as a top 100 overall prospect in the sport.

Marte probably won't reward those who bought in at the peak of his dynasty value in the summer of 2021, but he is still on track to be an everyday player who provides 25-plus homer pop. Once seen as a potential power/speed threat, Marte's power has emerged as his most projectable tool after he remade his body in recent years to add significant upper-body strength. He stole 23 bases on 32 attempts in 115 games last season, but Marte is trending toward being a below-average runner by the time he is entering his prime, so don't expect more than 5-to-10 steals per season in the majors. The righty slugger who will likely end up at third base figures to be more valuable in OBP leagues (11.5 BB%) than AVG leagues, and while Marte will never have a plus hit tool, he could hit around .250 with a .350 OBP. After getting traded from Seattle to Cincinnati in the Luis Castillo trade, Marte's future home park could aid him in eclipsing 30 homers per season at peak. There's still a lot to like here, even if the profile has changed somewhat over the past 18 months.
