Martin last appeared in the majors with the Dodgers back in 2019. The four-time All-Star selection spent 14 years in the majors from 2006 to 2019 and officially wraps up a career that included stints with the Dodgers, Yankees, Pirates and Blue Jays. One of the most athletically-gifted catchers of his era, and one of the first pitch-framing specialists to receive recognition for his abilities, he finishes with a .248/.349/.397 triple-slash line to go along with 191 home runs and 101 stolen bases in 1,693 games.

Morosi adds, however, that the veteran catcher is "keeping open the possibility of playing in the future." Martin, who turns 38 years old in February, batted just .220/.337/.330 with six home runs and 20 RBI over 83 games with the Dodgers in 2019 before failing to latch on with a team for the condensed 2020 campaign.

Heyman adds, however, that Martin is holding out for an offer from a team he considers to be a contender. The 37-year-old veteran hit .220/.337/.330 with six home runs in 83 games last season with the Dodgers.

Martin is now 37 and has been a well below average hitter for a few years. However, he's viewed as a good clubhouse guy and the Giants are thin at catcher if they don't want to hand the job to Joey Bart yet. Martin makes sense as an adequate fill-in.
