Padres' Nick Martinez bets on himself again
He became a better pitcher and returned to Major League Baseball in 2022, signing a contract with the Padres that was essentially another bet on himself.
Martinez will make $10 million in ’23, a figure that is in line with mid-rotation starters. Should he perform at that level , the team can exercise an option after the season that would assure Martinez $16 million in both ‘24 and ‘25. Martinez posted a 4.30 ERA in 10 starts last season but ended up being a godsend for the Padres out of the bullpen. In 37 relief appearances , he had a 2.67 ERA and finished with eight saves and eight holds. His .209 batting average allowed in high-leverage situations was 30 points lower than his overall average allowed.
