Done: J.D. Martinez a Red Sox

Good News

Apparently JD Martinez made it through the press conference without getting injured

If only Carl Pavano had that kind of durability.

More like the Red Sox aren't sure about him... They worked it into the contract from everything I've heard

I think you should brush up on how opt-outs work.

No no no, the Red Sox insisted on giving him more player options. JD wanted them to be team options, but settled on having control.

I just meant they worked what they thought was more favorable to them (the Red Sox) that's all

What they really worked was insurance if he lands on an extended DL late in the contract due to the same injury. Probably won't even come to that as he'll opt out after 2 years.

Sorry, dude. That's unpossible. @The Q said there's a non-zero chance that he'll opt out after two. . .
