The Mariners promoted Marte to the major leagues on July 31, 2015.[6] His performance led the Mariners to be comfortable with trading fellow shortstop Brad Miller.[7] However, Marte struggled in 2016, batting .259 with a .287 on-base percentage and striking out 84 times in 119 games. He also went on the disabled list three times. The Mariners attempted to trade for the Cincinnati Reds' Zack Cozart during the season.[8]
Arizona Diamondbacks
On November 23, 2016, the Mariners traded Marte and Taijuan Walker to the Arizona Diamondbacks for Jean Segura, Mitch Haniger, and Zac Curtis.[9] Marte began the 2017 season with the Reno Aces of the PCL. The Diamondbacks promoted him to the major leagues on June 28.[10] In his first playoff game in October 4 that same year, he hit two triples in an 11–8 Wild Card win over the Colorado Rockies, becoming only the 8th player to record two triples in the same playoff game and the first to do so in an ambidextrous manner. Marte was moved from shortstop to 2nd base by the Diamondbacks at the beginning of the 2018 season to make room for shortstop Nick Ahmed in the Arizona starting infield. In 2018, Marte led all of MLB in triples with 12.
Batting .316 with 20 home runs and 51 RBIs, Marte was named the starting second baseman for the 2019 Major League Baseball All-Star Game.[11] The following season, Marte hit .287 with 2 home runs and 17 RBI.
On April 8, 2021, Marte was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain. He returned on May 19.
On March 29, 2022, Marte signed a five-year, $76 million contract extension with the Diamondbacks.[12]
