The New York Mets have resumed contract discussions with J.D. Martinez.
Fantasy Impact
The market has been very quiet recently surrounding Martinez as he remains a free agent. There appears to be mutual interest with Opening Day a little more than two weeks away.
Prior to signing Jorge Soler to a three-year, $42 million contract, the Giants offered J.D. Martinez a one-year, $14 million deal which he declined.
Fantasy Impact
Martinez was reportedly looking for a deal closer to $20 million. He remains a free agent and will look to land with a new team soon as a designated hitter.
J.D. Martinez has been in contact with the Mets.
Fantasy Impact
The Mets have reportedly had discussions with Martinez in recent days. The club could certainly use a reliable DH option, and Martinez fits the bill. The veteran slugger enjoyed a rebound season with the Dodgers in 2023, posting an .893 OPS with 33 homers and 103 RBI across 479 plate appearances.
J.D. Martinez had a productive game, going 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in the Dodgers’ victory over the Giants Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
This performance adds to his solid season stats, which include 30 home runs and 95 RBI in 104 games played. Martinez's power numbers make him a valuable fantasy asset, and he should continue to provide consistent run production for fantasy managers down the stretch.
J.D. Martinez returns to the lineup for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the San Diego Padres Monday night.
Fantasy Impact
Martinez is back after receiving Sunday’s contest off for routine rest, batting fifth and occupying the designated hitter spot against the Padres for manager Dave Roberts Monday night.
