"He's Seth Martinez. If you're like me, you saw the name "Seth" in an article about Red Sox transactions and briefly celebrated because you thought that Seth Lugo was coming to Boston. Seth Martinez is not Seth Lugo. He does, however, own a World Series ring from his time in Houston in 2022, where he put up a 2.09 ERA across 29 games despite not pitching in the postseason."
"In total, Martinez boasts 144 Major League innings. The 31-year-old righty most recently pitched in the Marlins organization, where he spent most of the year in Triple-A Jacksonville. The Red Sox signed him to a minor league deal and gave him a non-roster Spring Training invite. He's also out of options, which means if he's not on the Major League roster, he's getting waived, traded or released outright."
"He wasn't great in 2024, which is the only time he qualified for league rankings in his career. He struck out just 36 batters in 52 2/3 innings that year. Plus, his average fastball velocity didn't reach 91, He also didn't quite have it in his limited time on Miami's Major League roster last season, where his 5.40 ERA was actually quite a bit less than his 7.19 FIP."
He is a 31-year-old right-handed pitcher with a World Series ring from Houston in 2022. He has 144 Major League innings and spent most of 2025 in Triple-A Jacksonville in the Marlins organization before signing a minor-league deal with the Red Sox and receiving a non-roster spring-training invite. He is out of options, meaning he would need to be waived, traded, or released if not added to the Major League roster. His 2024 season produced low strikeout totals and sub-91 mph average fastball velocity. His career MLB ERA sits at 4.00 across 117 games, and he showed stronger multi-inning work with Houston.
