Yeah I don't mind hearing the red sox in on those two. I'm not in love with either of them and wouldn't mind seeing them lock ina huge payroll and their roster with these guys. IMO it would leave them defensively challenged all over the infield and I'm not convinced it leaves them with a true elite bat in the middle (i.e. all of JD's biggest years have some weird - and inconsistent - outliers in them).
I don't know about that... Martinez has the same wRC+ as Bryce Harper and Paul Goldschmidt and Josh Donaldson and Giancarlo Stanton the last four years. If that's not an "elite bat in the middle", that basically leaves Trout and Votto as the only "elite bats" in baseball.
