Former Dodgers reliever Chris Martin had always planned on pitching for the Boston Red Sox until his arm gave out.
“I’m going to play for as long as they let me — as long as I can still do it,” Martin said back in July 2023.
Fast forward 14 months, and Martin’s perspective has shifted somewhat.
“To be 100 percent honest, I think next year will be my last year,” Martin told Christopher Smith of MassLive this week.
At 38, Martin’s looking to pitch through 2025, but he’s about 95 percent sure that’ll be the end of the line.
