Trying to find the market for J.D. Martinez

We all know by now that the first major decision to be made in this massive offseason for the Red Sox is not theirs to make. Well, at least they’ve decided it’s not theirs to make. They could offer to restructure J.D. Martinez’ contract, but they aren’t going to do that. So, that leaves things in the hands of the slugger himself. After an all-time season in 2018 and a very, very good one in 2019, the first opt-out in his contract comes up this winter and he has until Monday to make his decision.
