J.D. Martinez shocks no one, indicates he’s unlikely to opt out

The Red Sox have three games left on their schedule down in Atlanta to take on a Braves team that, while in the postseason, really has nothing to play for. So while they’re still playing, everyone is pretty much in offseason mode. That includes the beat, which is not to say they are letting up but rather asking about the offseason rather than the season. J.D. Martinez was one of the players to get a Zoom call this afternoon and he was asked about his opt out that he can exercise after the season.
