Signing JD Martinez could be fun but the Tigers seem about done this offseason

The thought of bringing home JD “Just Dingerz” Martinez for a final short run with the Detroit Tigers has been on the back of a lot of Tigers fans’ minds this offseason. In isolation, it’s certainly an attractive idea. His shocking run from 2014-2017 after getting ditched by the Houston Astros and picked up for nothing on the waiver wire was one of the highlights, one of the final highlights as it turned out, of the past decade of Tigers baseball. The club clearly needs a lot of offensive help, it would be fun to see Martinez don the Olde English D one more time, and he’s a simple, low cost, plug and play option that improves the offense immediately.
