Russell Martin announced his retirement from professional baseball.

Russell Martin doesn't plan to sign with a team before the start of the 2021 season, per MLB.com's Jon Morosi.

MLB Network's Jon Heyman reports that free agent catcher Russell Martin is "ready to play and receiving many calls from interested teams."

Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle writes that Russell Martin is "one name to consider" as the Giants look for catching help after Buster Posey opted out of the 2020 season.
