The Rangers offered Martinez a non-guaranteed contract, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 37-year-old had a .235/.320/.406 slash line with 16 homers in 120 regular-season games with the Mets last season, and he remains unsigned at about the halfway point of 2025 after failing to drum up much interest during the offseason. Martinez continues to work out in Miami as he attempts to keep himself ready, but he doesn't appear particularly close to securing an MLB contract.

The Yankees did reach out to Martinez, but the two sides don't seem close to a deal, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

At least for now, New York appears content to fill the DH spot internally in the absence of Giancarlo Stanton, who is facing an uncertain timetable for his return to action following a second round of PRP injections in his elbows. That leaves Martinez still looking for a job with less than three weeks to go until Opening Day. Martinez's numbers cratered last season and he is now 37 years old, but he was an All-Star as recently as 2023 when he hit 33 homers with 103 RBI in 113 regular-season games for the Dodgers.

Martinez will start at designated hitter and bat sixth Wednesday in Game 3 of the NLCS versus the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Jesse Winker was in the DH slot in each of the first two games of the series, but Martinez will get a shot Wednesday against right-hander Walker Buehler. It's Martinez's first start since Game 4 of the NLDS and his fourth start in 10 games this postseason for the Mets.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Martinez will likely be in the lineup Wednesday in Game 3 of the NLCS, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jesse Winker started at designated hitter in each of the first two games of the series, going 2-for-2 with a 2:2 K:BB. The Dodgers are slated to start another right-hander, Walker Buehler, in Game 3, but it sounds like Martinez will receive his first start of the series. The veteran is 4-for-14 with three RBI and a 4:2 K:BB so far this postseason.

Martinez is starting at DH and batting sixth in Sunday's Game 2 of the NLDS versus Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez began Game 1 on the bench but came on as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and delivered an RBI single. Jesse Winker was the starter at DH in that contest, and he'll move to the bench to begin the second game of the series. Sunday will mark Martinez's second start at DH for the Mets in the postseason, while Winker has started in that role three times.

Martinez will start at designated hitter and bat sixth Wednesday in Game 2 of the National League Wild Card Series against the Brewers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Martinez is not in the lineup Tuesday for Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series against the Brewers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez is in the midst of a career-worst stretch at the plate, having gone 0-for-his-last-30, which is also the longest slump by a Mets hitter this season. He'll be on the bench for a second straight game, and Saturday's absence came against an opposing lefty starter. The 37-year-old may have played his way out of the regular lineup.

Martinez isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game versus the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Martinez will get a chance to collect himself Saturday after going 0-for-29 over his last eight games. Starling Marte will replace him as New York's DH, allowing Tyrone Taylor to start in right field while batting sixth.

Martinez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis
