Just as Cleveland Indians fans were beginning to adjust to life without Michael Martinez, this happened.
So after a stint with the Tampa Bay Rays that didn’t work out, Martinez is back in the organization, likely heading back to Cleveland sooner than later.
Fans constantly piled angst upon Martinez, but a quick scroll through Twitter after an Erik Gonzalez error and one will find nostalgia toward Martinez.
This deal doesn’t mean Gonzalez’s job is in immediate danger, but it does give the Indians a veteran option for that utility role. Martinez is also a familiar face so it is basically like he never left.
