The phrase Carlos Martinez said and later shared over a picture of him on the mound last week is one the Cardinals have heard before and have waited to see from their righthander.
Translated from Spanish, he described how he had “no limits.”
Nearly four months after his fraught season ended abruptly because of an oblique strain, that is how Martinez described himself going into the opening start this weekend for the Dominican Republic’s representative in the Caribbean Series. The game will be Martinez’s third for Aguilas Cibaenas in its playoff run and fourth this winter — a noteworthy amount this late into the offseason for a former All-Star entering the final guaranteed year of a five-year, $51-million Cardinals contract.
