The Boston Red Sox's veteran reliever Chris Martin, who has had a successful tenure with the team, announced that he is 95% certain next season will be his last in Major League Baseball. At 38, Martin has dealt with injuries and personal considerations, including welcoming a fourth child, which have influenced his outlook on retirement. Despite a stellar 2023 season with a 1.05 ERA, Martin's performance dipped this year, with a 3.43 ERA and time spent on the injured list. While the Red Sox are likely to finish last for the third consecutive year, they face decisions regarding key players, including Martin, who will be a free agent after the upcoming season. Martin expressed a desire to continue playing but acknowledges the challenges of aging in the sport, leaving the door open for a potential final season in 2025. The team should consider re-signing him, as he has been a significant asset in their bullpen over the last two seasons.
