Noelvi Marte update

[Vogelbomb]

Marte batted 3-5 2b 3 RBI today in the Reds' 8-1 win over the Rockies (fuck the Rockies suck)

Marte is up to .364/.404/.659 since being recalled last week.

Wasn't he part of the Castillo trade along with Fraley and a pitcher? Looking like another loss for Jerry...

Not Fraley. It was Marte, Arroyo, Moore and Stoudt

I hope he isn't still juicing.

How would you grade the trade at this point?

They aren't necessarily buying into it yet in Cincinnati

Maybe 10 minor-league games and a fresh start was all it took for Noelvi Marte to rediscover focus and priorities, and to become an everyday big-league player who can help the Cincinnati Reds win?

There’s a long way to go before that last part can be answered. But the young infielder whose 2024 season was lost to a first-half steroid suspension and a second-half performance abyss has quietly played his way into a regular role in manager Terry Francona’s lineup as the team finished off a long road trip before heading home this week to face the Cardinals

Edwin arroyo is off to a hot start in AA right now too

I hate Jerry worse than Hitler but that was a great trade. End of Sentence. Hard stop.

Would have been a fine trade if they didn’t eff up the last few years by not adding offense. We’ll see how Castillo ages and what they do while he’s still effective.

I think Castillo will probably be fine. They do need to work with him on making an adjustment though, maybe adding a new pitch. He's had the exact same 4-pitch repertoire for his entire career, so maybe change up the scouting report a little bit.
