Ketel Marte's wife Elisa brings attention to D-Backs star joining Shohei Ohtani, Francisco Lindor as NL MVP finalists
Elisa Guerrero, Ketel Marte's wife, didn't waste time emphasizing her husband's stellar performance in the 2024 MLB regular season, which saw him named among the three NL MVP finalists. Shohei Ohtani and Francisco Lindor are the other two finalists.
Marte shared MLB's Instagram post on her stories. The MLB's post had the Dbacks superstar in the center with his bat, flanked by Lindor on the left and Ohtani on the right.
Marte and the D-Backs came agonizingly close to a postseason appearance. However, circumstances led to the Mets and Braves acquiring the final two wildcard spots despite all three teams having the same record.
Ketel Marte missed some games due to injury, and the D-Backs felt his absence. Nevertheless, the 2024 season produced more home runs and RBIs for him than any other season. With 36 homers and 95 RBIs, Marte had a batting average of .292.
Shohei Ohtani is the overwhelming favorite to win the NL MVP award, per the oddsmakers. Lindor is expected to bag some votes due to the narrative around Ohtani's role as a DH. Marte, who was only the second favorite to win the award, might also sway some votes, albeit with a lower chance than Lindor.
