It’s easy for White Sox fans to want J.D. Martinez on the South Side.
The guy was so good for the 2018 world-champion Boston Red Sox that he won not one but two Silver Sluggers, that in addition to his fourth-place finish in the AL MVP vote. He’s launched 184 homers since the start of the 2015 season. He’s a three-time All Star and one of the best sluggers in the game.
He’s expected to be one of the headliners on the free-agent market this winter — if he, as is anticipated, opts out of the remaining three years on his deal in Beantown — and would be the ideal solution to the White Sox problem at designated hitter.
