2024 Fantasy Outlook
Coming off an uncharacteristic 16-homer, 62-RBI campaign in 2022, Martinez inked a one-year, $10 million pact with the Dodgers last season and clubbed 33 home runs and tallied 103 RBI despite playing in 26 fewer games. A .301 ISO was his best since 2017 and a 54.8 percent hard-hit rate was the highest of his career, though he also had a career-worst 31.4 percent strikeout rate. It's the first time his strikeout rate has even come close to 30 percent, so it may be nothing to worry about since he also made consistent hard contact. A reproduction of the elite counting stats in 2024 would be optimistic in Martinez's age-36 season, but he should again be a heavily productive bat that's only really limited by his DH-only status.

Reports of Martinez's demise may have been exaggerated. His 2022 season was a bit of a disappointment, though he was an American League All-Star for the fifth time in his career. Martinez managed only 16 homers across 596 plate appearances for the season, including only one in a 38-game span from July 11 to Aug. 30. Once one of the game's most feared sluggers after some well-documented swing and approach changes, Martinez is no longer that, but the power is not completely gone as evidenced by his career-high 43 doubles in 2022. He endured some tough HR/FB luck in the middle of the season and should be expected to rebound in 2023 -- just not to 2017-19 levels. The Red Sox declined to extend Martinez the qualifying offer, but he was scooped up by the Dodgers, and the better surrounding lineup could help his counting stats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Probable trade piece
Martinez is a strong candidate to be traded by the Mets this summer, per Jeff Passan of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
The veteran slugger debuted for the Mets in late April after he signed late in spring training and then dealt with a back injury, and he's been plenty productive with five homers and a .281/.331/.467 slash line in 36 games. Martinez is under contract for only this season at $12 million, though the true value of the deal is closer to $9 million since there are significant deferrals.
