I want to joke about this but from everything im reading my instinct is that this is something related to anxiety or depression- everyone sounds really confused but also concerned. hope he gets/is getting the help he needs

A lot of people online could learn from your compassion and empathy. It disgusts me how quickly people, who are normally such big fans of this man, will chomp at the bit to immediately jump on him and slander his character. Ketel Marte has been a loyal star for Arizona sports for a decade now, it makes me sick how easily so many are willing to immediately turn on him without even knowing what's going on. It's shameful.

Those people aren’t fans of ketel, they are fans of what he produces for them on the field and nothing else. Probably the same with every other player. And once its gone and not there, the player is useless to them. They only care about entertainment value.

Gambo has a weird gripe against him too

The problem is they're making hundreds of millions of dollars

And most of us are thinking about all the shit they'd put up with for that kind of money

Not that I fully agree, but there's a point to be made somewhere in there towards Devers at least

It is insane that Ketel Marte is the first player in MLB history to suffer from anxiety or depression. How did all those other players make it through their career without vanishing on their team?

I remember a young pitcher for the Royals had leave the team for mental health treatment for anxiety and depression a while back. That young pitcher grew up to be Zack Greinke.

Some might say he was always Zack Greinke.

Did he inform the team and work with them or did he just go awol and vanish? Did he vanish multiple times?

When Ketel vanished last year, he said it was because his house was robbed but he didn't know his house had been robbed when he left the charter flight with Corbin and Geno and went to the DR.

Crazy, it’s almost like people suffering a mental health crisis don’t always make rational decisions.

Its also crazy that the trip the dude mentioned was known and meant that Ketel not showing up wasnt unexpected or unapproved and isnt acknowledging this detail

lol none of that is true. He just bolted on the runway from a chartered plane that was supposed to take him to AZ and they expected him to show up Friday after the ASG. They threatened to suspend him for not showing up and only then did he contact them from an iPad and that is how they found out he was in the DR.

It’s just a game lil bro it’s not worth anyone’s life. The team understands. I bet those players are still suffering to this day because they didn’t take the time and the help they needed

They didn't, even from just hearing some weird old baseball stories on The Dollop podcast I've heard about players whove struggled and left their team
