Russell Martin Declined Pirates’ Mid-Season Extension Offer
By Jeff Todd [October 10, 2014 at 5:05pm CDT]
Pirates catcher Russell Martin rejected an extension offer made by the team
at some point during the season, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports. Terms
of the offer (or its precise timing) are not known. There are no indications
that the sides are close on a late-breaking deal to keep Martin off the
market, Heyman adds.
Pittsburgh reportedly has continued interest in bringing back Martin, and
this reported mid-season effort lends credence to the idea that they will be
serious in pursuit. On the other hand, of course, Martin stands alone among
free agent backstops, and plenty of other clubs figure to make a run at him.
The Bucs had preliminary discussions with Martin in the spring, but held off
on making an offer. That may have cost the team its window to reach a deal.
Martin has delivered plenty of value on the two-year, $17MM deal he signed
with Pittsburgh before the 2013 season, and his .290/.402/.430 line in 2014
brought him into a new performance tier. MLBTR’s Charlie Wilmoth profiled
Martin’s rising standing in August.
oh no...
如果這樣捕手就要拉上香吉士了嘛?
