On Monday, the Baseball Writers Association of America released their 2019 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, with Edgar Martinez leading a list of 15 holdovers.
It is the Mariners’ former DH’s 10th and final year on the ballot. He received 70.4 percent of the votes a year ago, and his chances for a trip to reach Cooperstown look good.
There are 20 newcomers on the ballot this year, highlighted by career saves leader Mariano Rivera and late pitcher Roy Halladay.
