BREAKING NEWS: Rangers Reportedly Are ‘Potential Fit’ To Sign MBL All-Star
The Texas Rangers are potentially eyeing a former member of the Boston Red Sox, as reports suggest that former Red Sox All-Star J.D. Martinez remains available in free agency. Despite an impressive stint with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season, Martinez continues to explore his options after the Dodgers signed Shohei Ohtani, leaving him seeking opportunities elsewhere.
Martinez, known for his powerful hitting, has been linked to multiple teams during this surprisingly slow free-agency period. At 36 years old, he still possesses significant offensive capabilities. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Texas Rangers are among the teams that could potentially sign Martinez, especially after the San Francisco Giants opted to sign Jorge Soler instead.
While Martinez’s destination remains uncertain, he would undoubtedly be a valuable addition to any team that secures his services. Last season, he earned his sixth All-Star nod while with the Dodgers, showcasing his prowess with 33 home runs, 27 doubles, and 103 RBIs in just 113 games played.
For the Rangers, landing Martinez could significantly bolster their lineup. With ambitions to build on their recent success, including a World Series title, Texas presents an appealing destination for the slugger.
As Spring Training approaches, it’s expected that Martinez will find a new team soon, and the Rangers are among those being speculated upon as a potential landing spot for the veteran slugger.
