  • The Los Angeles Dodgers are facing fierce competition for outfielder Teoscar Hern
  • ndez from the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.

The article from Newsweek discusses the intense competition among Major League Baseball teams, including the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, and Los Angeles Dodgers, for the services of free agent slugger J.D.

His performance has made him a desirable asset as teams look to bolster their lineups for the upcoming season. The article highlights that Martinez's market value is around $75 million, reflecting his value as a designated hitter and occasional outfielder. Teams are considering him not only for his on-field contributions but also for his veteran presence in the clubhouse. However, his age and the potential for a short-term contract are points of negotiation, with teams weighing the benefits of his immediate impact against long-term roster planning.
