In five seasons with Boston, the 36-year-old slashed .292/.363/.526 with 130 home runs, 423 RBIs and 171 doubles. He won a World Series in 2018, made four All-Star appearances and took home two Silver Sluggers in the same season. He was dominant, but by the end it was clear the two sides were ready to move on.
THE CASE FOR The Red Sox are in a really weird spot at DH, with one option being a rotation between Triston Casas, Masataka Yoshida, and Rafael Devers. That sounds awful. If Boston rotates players at the spot, it puts itself at risk of preventing defensive development in three key players. The Red Sox should go out and grab a full-time DH. In Martinez, they get as close to a slam-dunk option as you can get. The 36-year-old seems to be getting better with age.
