JD Martinez Joins Mets as Special Advisor

0:00On March 31st, the New York Mets just hired JD Martinez as a special advisor for baseball operations. He's joining Carlos Beltran, the Hall of Famer they brought on in the same role back in 2023. Martinez will work right alongside Beltran, talking shop with players on the field, and in the clubhouse to boost team vibes. Last season in 2024, he suited up for the Mets over 120 games, hitting 235 with 16 home runs, and 69 RBIs. Even if those numbers dip from his monster year before, he clearly dudd playing in New York. Over 14 big league seasons with six different teams, Martinez earned six All-Star Nods, three silver sluggers, and a World Series ring. Career-wise, he slashed 283 with 331 homers and 1071 RBIs. Now his voice carries weight with President of baseball operations David Sterns, offering real-player insights to sharpen the squad. The Mets are banking on him to mentor the next generation of masters and push them toward contention.
