As projected, the left-handed DH is providing the most bang for the buck among the DH candidates the team considered during the off-season
As the 2023-24 offseason got underway Diamondbacks General Manager Mike Hazen made it clear that he was in the market to add another bat to be the primary Designated Hitter . A couple of playersThe conclusion at that time was the D-backs would be better off making a shorter term commitment to either Joc Pederson or Justin Turner and staying away from Martinez.
Ultimately the D-backs ended up signing Pederson late in the off-season to a one year deal for $9.5 million. There is a mutual option for 2025 for 14$ million, or a $3 million buyout. In essence Pederson is guaranteed $12.5 million, and if the team and Pederson agree to the mutual option it works out to two years, $23.5 million.Pederson has shown tremendous plate discipline, leading this group by a wide margin with the best walk and strikeout rates.
Martinez was one of the Scott Boras clients that held out for too long asking for too much. He ended up taking a one year, $12 million dollar deal with the New York Mets, with $7.5 million of that deferred. Unsurprisingly, he began the year on the injured list and has played in just 11 games so far. He has yet to homer and has driven in one run.
Rhys Hoskins made the original list due to the fact that the D-backs already had Christian Walker at first base at least through 2024. It was thought that Hoskins could be a potential DH candidate while coming back from a serious knee injury, and transition back to first base in 2025 should Walker depart.
