10/09/24 | Veteran Red Sox reliever expected to get receive affordable contract in free agency.

Martin originally signed a two-year contract, $13.5 million contract with the Red Sox before the 2023 season. In his first year in Boston, he was unbelievable, posting a 1.05 ERA, 2.44 FIP, 1.032 WHIP and 8.1 K/9 in 55 games. Now, at 38 years old, Martin is hitting free agency again, and according to Spotrac, he's projected to receive a one-year, $1.43 million deal this offseason.

8/04/24 | Red Sox get encouraging injury update on key reliever.

7/21/24 | Whether club buys or sells at trade deadline, Red Sox know they have to keep their focus on the field. Over the course of three games — three blown saves in two winnable contests on Friday and Saturday, then a mostly lopsided affair on Sunday in which the Sox rallied from a 9-3 deficit in the ninth but fell short — several Sox shortcomings were exposed. Against lefties, the team went 11 for 56 with a .196/.297/.375 line and 21 strikeouts in 64 plate appearances (33 percent strikeout rate). The three blown saves suggest a shorthandedness in the absence of injured relievers Chris Martin and Justin Slaten — a vulnerability that will become more glaring without closer Kenley Jansen, who will not travel to Colorado because of an irregular heartbeat that he said required shock treatment three times in his career after pitching in Denver.
