Martinez didn't sign his deal with the reigning World Series champions until spring training last year and isn't surprised this offseason's market is again moving at a slow pace.Martinez was asked if he thought the market would move in a similar fashion this year and called free agency "embarrassing for baseball Jay Buhner Jersey ," per Rob Bradford of WEEI:"One-hundred-percent. I knew it was Why wouldn't it? They got away with it last year, why wouldn't they do it again? What's going to happen? Nothing. It's embarrassing for baseball, it really is.

We might as well just fast-forward to the end of the season."Martinez went on to say "losing is incentivized now," when pointing out there are fewer teams fighting for free agents as many notable players remained unsigned with spring training underway.
