Long story short: A baseball player, Francis Martes, was acquired from the Miami Marlins in a trade that involved other baseball players. I’m not trying to be lazy, but I don’t want to write about the circumstances surrounding Martes of how he is a member of the Houston Astros organization today. That’s a discussion for another time. Instead, I want to concentrate on the pitcher that is Francis Martes, who happens to be good. Minor league good so far, but good regardless.
Originally hailing from the Dominican Republic, Martes was once considered as nothing more than an interesting arm with promise.
