JD Martínez finally made his debut with the New York Mets after spending the first few weeks in the Minor Leagues. The veteran player signed with the team in March but needed some time to get in tune with the team due to lack of preseason preparation.
Martínez, who had struggled with back issues while with the Dodgers last season, expressed satisfaction with his health and readiness for the current season. The 36-year-old player joked about “hurrying up” to join the struggling Mets, who had lost their first five games of the season.
Manager Carlos Mendoza expressed excitement about having Martínez in the lineup but also emphasized the need to not put too much pressure on the veteran player. Despite the challenges, Martínez seems ready to make an impact on the team as they look to turn their season around.
