J.D. Martinez Has Plenty Of Suitors
1 year agoFree-agent designated hitter J.D. Martinez won't be returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers after they signed two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani, but he still has plenty of suitors. The Los Angeles Angels are a logical fit, but it remains to be seen if Martinez has interest in playing for them. The New York Mets, Detroit Tigers and Toronto Blue Jays are believed to have interest in the veteran slugger, while a reunion with the Arizona Diamondbacks would also make sense. The 36-year-old was great in 2023 with the Dodgers, hitting 33 home runs with an .893 OPS. He's not looking for a long-term deal, so his market figures to include contenders with a need at DH. Martinez is especially attractive to contenders, considering his .294/.386/.588 slash line with a .974 OPS, 10 home runs and 31 RBI in 33 career postseason games.
