J.D. Martinez Signs 1-Year, $12M Deal with Mets

After a prolonged free agency, J.D. Martinez has reportedly agreed to a 1-year, $12 million deal with the New York Mets. The veteran designated hitter was one of several notable Scott Boras clients to negotiate contracts into March, with Martinez ultimately finding a fit with the Mets, providing them with a significant upgrade at the designated hitter position. Despite some red flags in his peripherals, Martinez's hitting prowess makes him a valuable addition to the team as they aim to contend for a wild-card spot in the upcoming MLB season.
