Fantasy Impact

The Boston Red Sox released veteran pitcher Carlos Martinez Tuesday. They had previously signed him to a minor-league deal just over a week ago.
Fantasy Impact
Martinez' career has seen a huge fall from grace. Just a few seasons ago he posted a 3.11 ERA with 117 K's in 118 2/3 innings. Now the veteran righty cannot find a home. He began the year with the Giants farm system before being cut and was unable to make it to the big club in Boston, despite their pitching woes. We might be seeing the end to his major league career.
The Red Sox have signed former Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez to a minor-league contract.
Fantasy Impact
Martinez joined the Giants on a minor-league deal in Spring Training but was released on April 28th after informing the team he planned to opt out of his contract on May 1st. Even if Martinez makes it onto the Red Sox roster, he hasn't pitched well since 2019. Last year with the Cardinals, his ERA and K/9 were an identical 6.23 in 82 innings pitched.
Carlos Martinez announced on his Instagram that he has signed with San Francisco.
Fantasy Impact
The 30-year-old pitcher has had an uneven career and has struggled over the previous two seasons. St. Louis used him as both a starter and a closer, but he just never seemed to find a solid role. He will be an interesting one to watch with San Francisco's extremely pitcher-friendly park and a recent history of refining talent in veteran pitchers.
