Arizona Diamondbacks may benefit from the J.D. Martinez waiting game

azcentral sports' Dan Bickley and former Diamondbacks outfielder Luis Gonzalez catch up in a special edition of our Shot Clock video.

There appears to be a growing school of thought among Diamondbacks fans that the longer free-agent slugger J.D. Martinez remains unsigned, the better the chances of the outfielder returning to Arizona.

Don’t bet on it, even though Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told azcentral sports that the situation remains “fluid” and he wouldn’t rule out the possibility of Martinez and the Diamondbacks ultimately finding enough common ground to reach a new deal.
