Hanley Ramirez Says “Now We’re Going to Step on Everybody’s Neck” After J.D. Martinez Signing

Hanley Ramirez is among the Boston Red Sox players excited about the team's signing of outfielder J.D. Martinez, which was officially announced on Monday.

“Now we’re going to step on everybody’s neck,” Ramirez said, according to Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe.

The Red Sox signed Martinez to a five-year deal worth $110 million. The two sides came to an agreement last week but there was a hold up after the team reviewed some of Martinez's medical history. Last season, Martinez missed the first few weeks of the season due to a right foot injury.
