J.D. Martinez

Although the Red Sox All-Stars didn’t play a huge role in the American League's 8-6 extra-innings win, Mitch Moreland had a successful first career All-Star Game, registering a pair of singles in three at-bats. Moreland entered the game in the sixth inning as a defensive replacement and went on to...

Updates on the Red Sox All-Stars, who were largely bit players in the American League's 8-6 victory, in a game that featured a record 10 home runs, which accounted for all but one run. Astros teammates Alex Bregman and George Springer went back-to-back in the 10th to win it. -- Left-hander Chris...

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- There is little debate that the Red Sox made a wise move in committing to J.D. Martinez this past offseason. It wasn't cheap, but the price they got the slugger (five years, $110 million) is appearing to be a relative bargain. The issue, however, is those opt-outs. Martinez can...

J.D. Martinez is the Red Sox’ best big-money free agent signing since Manny Ramirez. The fact that he remained on the open market until late February looks stranger with each passing day.
