The New York Mets make a risky signing as they decide to sign the All-Star slugger, who is eligible for free agency.

It appears that the New York Mets are still in the running for a number of prominent players, including six-time All-Stat jd martinez, despite a recent report indicating that the team was unlikely to add an impact bat in free agency.

The New York Mets have been very active in the MLB free-agent market over the past month, but they haven’t made the kind of big-name signing that fans have come to expect. Still, they filled some of their holes going into the winter with the addition of Harrison Bader, an outfielder, and starting pitchers Luis Severino and Sean Manea.Still, the bullpen and designated hitter position are the two areas where the organization needs to make improvements.

This information builds on Martino’s earlier report, which stated that if the team made a “splash” this winter, it would be for a new DH. The hitting market, which includes players like Jorge Soler, JD Martinez, Justin Turner, and Rhys Hoskins, is reportedly heating up, according to New York Post MLB insider Jon Heyman on Thursday. The Mets are one of the teams reportedly pursuing a player in this market.

Furthermore, Heyman stated that “Martinez would be an ideal” match. Martinez and the organization have been connected for weeks.

In 2023, the veteran of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox was named an All-Star for the sixth time. Martinez hit 33 home runs and drove in 103 runs in just 113 games last season despite turning 36. Because of this, the DH specialist appears to be a wonderful fit for the
