#Rays will look different as camp opens, having moved on from 23 players on the roster/60-day IL at end of '25, made 16 trades (involving 37 players), DFA'd 17, had 7 waiver moves, and are signing their 4th MLB free agent.

Hearing guarantee for Martinez is around $13M from #Rays between 2026 salary and buyout. At that investment, expect him to be in their rotation.
RE: https://sportsbots.xyz/users/TBTimes_Rays/statuses/2020901376788681041
#Rays are in agreement with Martinez on a 1-year deal with a 2027 mutual option (that has a buyout). He made $21.05M last year after accepting qualifying offer from #Reds.
