The Boston Red Sox land J.D. Martinez for five years, $110 million with an opt out after two years, plus one more opt-out. That’s a lot less than the seven year, $210 million contract Martinez sought. Like Eric Hosmer‘s contract, the deal is front loaded so Martinez gets $50 million for the first two years.
Teams wanted to pay more annual value for shorter contracts. With the opt-outs, that is essentially what they did with both Hosmer and Martinez.
Martinez has not played much at Fenway Park, but he did play very well in his few PA there.
