MLB Rumors: Red Sox Interested in J.D. Martinez After Not Extending Qualifying Offer

Veteran slugger J.D. Martinez didn't receive a qualifying offer to return to the Boston Red Sox, but that reportedly doesn't mean a reunion is an impossibility.

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Red Sox are one of the teams interested in signing Martinez this offseason.

The 35-year-old spent the last five years in Boston after he signed a $110 million contract in 2018. He previously played for the Houston Astros, Detroit Tigers and Arizona Diamondbacks, but he was one of the most productive hitters in the majors during his time with the Red Sox.
