"A 10-year, 7-team veteran who stands 6'8", Chris Martin has pitched in both leagues and from coast-to-coast. He was a 21st round draft pick by the Colorado Rockies back in 2005. (Roman Anthony was born in 2004). He spent the 2023 and 2024 seasons with Boston where, at the advanced baseball ages of 36 and 37, he put up a 2.16/2.60 ERA/FIP over 95.2 innings (100 appearances on the nose)."
"He finished 21 games but only recorded 5 saves. While a stalwart in the 'pen, he was on two Sox teams that couldn't put things together to make a run. He wasn't the closer but he pitched like one. In 2023 he finished 12th in Cy Young voting. His only time receiving votes at all! He is from Arlington, Texas so returning literally to his home town for 2025 thinking it was his final season made sense."
Chris Martin is a 6'8" right-handed reliever with a ten-year, seven-team major-league career and a lifetime 3.33 ERA and 3.03 FIP. He was a 21st-round pick by the Colorado Rockies in 2005 and produced strong seasons with Boston in 2023–2024, posting a 2.16 ERA and 2.60 FIP across 95.2 innings and 100 appearances. Martin averages about 1.2 bWAR per 162 games, strikes out just over 25% of batters while walking roughly 3%, and typically logs near 40 innings per season. He spent 2025 with the Texas Rangers, missed time on the IL, allowed six homers, and considered retirement, but a Boston reunion remains possible if he continues playing.
