Crawdad Chronicles 48.03 - Cris Martinez to test Free Angency
Posted: Fri Nov 05, 2021 3:09 pm
New Orleans has decided not to extend a contract offer to OF Cris Martinez and instead let him test the free angency market.
Martinez joined the crawdads in 2045 after signing a 4 year 24M contract. In those 4 years he hit .269 with 106 HRs and 315 RBI. Unfortunatly for Martinez, he hit just .231 in his contract year. And at 28 years old, New Orleans is looking to go a different way in the outfield.
GM Jim Roberts said "we love what Cris did for us. He gave it his all every single at bat - we just need some room for some younger guys to come in here and make a mark"
Martinez is reportedly looking for a deal with an average salary around 7M/year. We'll have to see if anyone is willing to pay that for marginal defense and comign off a poor 2048 campaign.
