We can all finally take a sigh of relief. J.D. Martinez is officially a member of the Boston Red Sox – finally!
The team held a press conference at Jet Blue Park Monday morning to introduce their prized free agent acquisition. The 5-year, $110 million deal that was agreed upon nearly a week ago was delayed while both sides carefully constructed the language of the contract.
While Martinez is currently healthy, X-Rays during his physical revealed a Lisfranc condition in his right foot. The issue stems from an injury that sidelined Martinez through the first six weeks of last season.
