On July 29, 2022, the Mariners traded Marte, Edwin Arroyo, Andrew Moore, and Levi Stoudt to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for Luis Castillo.[7] The Reds subsequently assigned Marte to the High–A Dayton Dragons. On November 15, 2022, the Reds added Marte to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[8]
Marte was optioned to the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts to begin the 2023 season.[9] He played in 50 games for Chattanooga, hitting .281/.356/.464 with 8 home runs, 25 RBI, and 10 stolen bases. On June 26, 2023, Marte was promoted to the Triple–A Louisville Bats.[10] On August 19, Marte was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[11] In 35 games during his rookie campaign, he batted .316/.366/.456 with three home runs, 15 RBI, and six stolen bases.
On March 8, 2024, it was announced that Marte received an 80-game suspension without pay after testing positive for Boldenone, a performance enhancing substance. He was activated from his suspension on June 27.[12]
