Red Sox Free Agency: Diamondbacks competing for J.D. Martinez
The Arizona Diamondbacks have discussed long and short-term offers with free agent J.D. Martinez, presenting the Boston Red Sox with some competition.
Negotiations between the Boston Red Sox and free agent J.D. Martinez remain in a stalemate. The player isn’t satisfied with the offer on the table, while the team has no incentive to raise their bid with a lack of suitors to force their hand.
That may be about to change with the Arizona Diamondbacks seemingly ready to jump in the mix. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reports that the Diamondbacks have discussed both short and long-term deals with Martinez.
