Noelvi Marte’s MLB season is hitting rock bottom—sitting at a brutal -1.4 fWAR, the worst among all players with 100+ plate appearances. The Reds have sent him down to AAA Louisville, replacing him with catcher Will Banfield, likely to keep Tyler Stephenson in the lineup more often. Marte’s overall stats are dismal: .189 batting average and .550 OPS in 201 PA, with August being especially disastrous—he’s just 4-for-32 with 10 strikeouts and no extra-base hits. This marks his second demotion this season, following a disappointing stint since the Luis Castillo trade in 2022. Despite defensive moves across shortstop, third base, and outfield, he’s still struggling—and it’s making fans wonder how many more chances the Reds will give him before reevaluating his future role.
