Jose Martinez Signs With Mexican League Squad
3 years agoFirst baseman Jose Martinez has signed a contract with the Acereros de Monclova of the Mexican League. The 33-year-old hasn't appeared in the MLB since 2020. He signed with the New York Mets prior to the 2021 season, but tore his meniscus in Spring Training and never debuted with the team. Martinez broke into the majors with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2016. He developed a reputation as a plus-hitter but a poor defender during his time in the majors. Over 432 major league games, he has a .289/.356/.447 slash line with 43 home runs, 182 RBI and 170 runs.
