Martinez, who spent the last five seasons with the Boston Red Sox, is a five-time All-Star and lifetime .288 hitter with 282 homers and 899 RBIs. He was a member of the team that defeated the Dodgers in the 2018 World Series.
The Dodgers have reportedly signed slugging designated hitter J.D. Martinez to a one-year deal ahead of the 2023 season.
Martinez, now 35, is a five-time All-Star with three Silver Slugger Awards and one World Series Championship to his name. He was a member of the 2018 Boston Red Sox team that defeated the Dodgers and will now be reunited with fellow former-Red Sox Mookie Betts, who was dealt to the Dodgers ahead of the 2020 season.
Most recently, Martinez had what could be called a"down year" by his standards, hitting .274 with 16 long balls and 62 runs driven in. His best year to date came in 2018, when he slugged 43 homers and drove in 130 runs to the tune of a .330 batting average, finishing fourth in American League MVP voting.
