Right-hander filled numerous roles for Padres in 2022, expected to be starter going forward
Five days after opting out of his contract and becoming a free agent, Nick Martinez agreed to a three-year, $26 million contract that could be worth as much as $42 million.
Martinez, 32, signed a four-year, $26 million deal in March that gave him the ability to opt out after each of the first three seasons. After spending four seasons in Japan, where he learned an appreciation for analytics, refined his delivery and improved the care of his arm and body, Martinez began last season in the Padres’ starting rotation. he was moved to the bullpen in May before making two starts in June and then shifting to the bullpen full-time, where he pitched in a variety of roles.
“The contract speaks for itself,” Martinez said. “I’m going to have an oppprtunity to show I can start for an entire year. Through my incentives and what I’m getting paid this year; those team options give me a chance to prove that. I’m also guaranteeing some security for my family.”
