Agent Scott Boras expects the Diamondbacks to be involved in the bidding for his newest superstar client, J.D. Martinez. Or, at least, Boras doesn’t see a good reason for the club and owner Ken Kendrick not to try to pursue the slugging free-agent outfielder.
“Why wouldn’t he?” Boras asked. “He’s been a very competitive owner, a good owner in that way. The great thing is it’s rare in free agency where you get a chance to see the player perform in your market and with your team. What a determined player. He’s diligent. He’s driven, no doubt.”
Martinez is also very good.
