JD Martinez will go down as one of greatest mid-season acquisitions of a position player in history; 29 homers, 65 RBI in 2 months.

Fewest PA in 45+ HR season
McGwire 548 (1996)
BBonds 550 (2003)
HAaron 573 (1971)

(JD Martinez has 45 HR in 479 PA w/3 games left).

JD is gonna get paid bigtime as a FA this coming offseason. Had the Tigers signed him last offseason, he might have come quite a bit cheaper.

Unreal. I'd love to see his numbers had he not missed the first 33 games of the season, he could have hit 60. Unlikely, but possible.

Fortunately for JD there is an AL too. Stanton got over 300m from a NL team. Better defense than JD but he's no stud out there in RF.

And you only need 1 team who's dumb. I pick LAA.

I think Boston has a shot if Betts is willing to move from RF and they can trade JBJ. JD plays RF for 2 years then moves to primary DH after Hanley's contract is up.

J.D Martinez has hit 175 home runs since leaving the Tigers.

The 3 players he was traded for have hit a combined 8 home runs with the Tigers.
 
For a 35 year old hitting great. Well even for a 25 year old but 35 even better.
 
he was only a Tiger for 3.5 years. I really don't care about what he has done since he was a Tiger. He was barely a Tiger.
