Disappointing 2024
It’s not a secret that Noelvi had one of the most disappointing seasons of any Red in 2024. In the offseason, he made terrible choices with taking steroids, then once he was eligible to come back, he was even worse. He ended up slashing .210/.248/.301/.549 – truthfully dreadful production, or lack of. He ended the 2024 year worth -1.8 bWAR. It’s a season you hope he can forget, that’s for sure.
Hopefully Noelvi Marte will help himself out a little more this year, stay focused, and be ready to play baseball. The DoWL was the start of his decline last year after a promising start to this MLB career.

Terry Francona has always had a great ability to connect with his Latin American players, let’s hope Noelvi Marte is no exception.

Those numbers convinced many that he was poised to turn things around in 2026 after an extremely disappointing prior…

For a team that has struggled so mightily, the ball was flying all over the place at Great American ballpark on Thursday afternoon. Spencer Steer scored…
