Martinez to the Dodgers: 1/$10M

J.D. Martinez and the Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to terms on a one year, $10 million deal per reports.

Martinez, 35, has spent the last five seasons with the Boston Red Sox. He had a monster 2018 season, slashing .330/.402/.629, finishing first in the majors in total bases and RBIs, and finishing fourth in the American League MVP voting, with a career-best 6.7 bWAR. Since then he’s slipped, however, and in 2022 slashed .274/.341/.448 in 596 plate appearances.
