Information regarding the free agent signing may be based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement.
Martinez became the first player drafted from Nova Southeastern University to debut in Major League Baseball. The following month, he drove in 28 runs, establishing an Astros rookie record for one month. It all started in the top of the fourth inning on a 2-2 count against left Rich Hill that landed in left-center field.

I was hoping he’d go to the wsox, where good careers go to die, but this would be so much better. He wasn’t our best player in 1986, but he might’ve been the most important. When asked about whether he thought the RS might blow their lead in 1986, like they had in 1978, he said flat out ‘NO! Add to that the fact it’s clearly a disadvantage to have a full-time DH.
Martinez' 15 outfield assists tied for third in the AL, his .993 fielding percentage led all AL right fielders, and his 7.7 ultimate zone rating ranked second among AL right fielders. The New York Post’s Jon Heyman was the first to report the news on the former Boston Red Sox designated hitter. The deal will be official after the completion of a physical, according to Robert Murray of FanSided. Jorge Castillo of the LA Times reported it was a one-year deal. Martinez becomes the third free agent to finish the 2022 season with the Red Sox, then sign elsewhere, following Bogaerts going to San Diego and reliever Matt Strahm signing with Philadelphia.

Boras, however, said Conforto is throwing at 150 feet, putting him ahead of players who are just starting to get ready for the season. The Rangers, seeking an impact bat in left field, are among the teams with interest, along with the Mets and Blue Jays, major-league sources said. Some of the teams considering free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto are concerned about his ability to throw at full strength, citing the surgery he underwent on his right shoulder last April. If Conforto requires time at designated hitter, he might be less attractive to clubs that want more of a full-time outfielder.
Topping the list is Jackson Chourio, an 18-year-old out of Venezuela who is almost certainly untouchable. Right behind him is Sal Frelick, the 15th pick in the 2021 draft and another player the Brewers are unlikely to move. Brantley returned to the Astros that winter on a two-year, $32 million deal.

He was second in the major leagues in OPS (1.066), third in home runs, fourth in OPS+ , and sixth in adjusted batting runs .
The Trevor Bauer situation made it unlikely the Dodgers would take big steps in the free agent market. However, Heyman noted the reported deal does not rule out Justin Turner re-signing with the team. The reported Martinez deal made sense for Los Angeles, which hopes to improve from its National League Division Series exit at the hands of division rival San Diego Padres. The Dodgers also reportedly added Noah Syndergaard to the rotation. For Martinez specifically, Sunday's three-homer performance was merely a continuation of an utterly absurd start to the season at the plate.
