It’s no secret the Boston Red Sox need an upgrade to their lineup. Any fan of baseball knows that last year’s team still lacks a bat to help get this team to the next level. The Red Sox thought they had a solution to that problem with a potential signing of J.D. Martinez; the most expensive bat on the market too expensive for most teams’ budgets.
The ship hasn’t sailed, but the tides may be turning in a different direction.
With the recent report by Ken Rosenthal of Martinez growing frustrated with the Red Sox and preferring to sign elsewhere, Boston is left contemplating life without Martinez.
