3 years agoBoston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez declined to exercise the opt-out clause in his contract and will remain with the team for the 2022 season. Martinez's market could markedly improve next offseason if a universal DH is implemented in baseball when the new Collective Bargaining Agreement is worked out this winter. Had he opted out of his $19.375 million deal for next year, Boston would have surely extended Martinez a qualifying offer. It's the third straight year that the slugger has opted in to remain with Boston. Martinez had a tough season in the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign, but he bounced back to hit .286/.349/.518 with an .867 OPS, 28 home runs, 99 RBI and an MLB-leading 42 doubles. The 34-year-old was an All-Star for the third time in his career and also hit an impressive .344/.447/.688 with three homers and 10 RBI in the postseason.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
