MLB Rumors: Red Sox DH J.D. Martinez available in trade talks

With only one week until the MLB trade deadline, J.D. Martinez's days in Boston may be numbered.

The Red Sox designated hitter is one of several players likely on the trading block if the organization decides to sell. He's in the final year of his contract and will turn 35 years old next month.

Xander Bogaerts is another name to monitor, though Red Sox president Sam Kennedy said Tuesday that the organization hasn't discussed potentially trading its homegrown shortstop. While that doesn't mean he won't be moved, Martinez appears to be far more likely to wear a new uniform after Aug.
