The lingering Ketel Marte no-show saga has taken another strange twist — this one apparently involving a roulette table.
Video emerged on social media of the injured Marte gambling at a local casino on Friday night near the team’s complex at Salt River Fields, all while across town at Chase Field, his teammates on the Arizona Diamondbacks were fighting for a postseason berth without him.
“He’s free to do whatever he wants,” manager Torey Lovullo told reporters after Arizona’s 9-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. “That’s how I look at it. As long as he wakes up tomorrow morning and posts, and gets his work done at Salt River, which I am certain he will, that’s all that matters to me right now.”
