Nick Martinez Stats

San Diego Padres pitcher Nick Martinez will make the start on Monday, according to manager Bob Melvin. Right-hander Mike Clevinger (triceps) was scheduled to start before he ended up on the injured list. That being said, it appears the Padres are planning on using a six-man rotation while Clevinger is out. Martinez has been fairly decent through his six starts this season. However, the Milwaukee Brewers lineup can be dangerous at times. Regardless, Martinez is at least worth considering as a streaming option in deep leagues this week.

The San Diego Padres' four-year deal with starting pitcher Nick Martinez became official on Wednesday, and the deal is for $25.5 million, according to a source. Martinez will receive a $2 million signing bonus and make $4 million in 2022. In each of 2023, 2024 and 2025 he'll have a $6.5 million player option and a $1.5 million buyout. The 31-year-old right-hander had a nice four-year run overseas in Japan and initially agreed on a deal with the Padres on the night before the lockout on Dec. 1. Before his four-year stay in Japan, Martinez posted a 4.77 ERA and 1.45 WHIP while striking out 237 and walking 148 in 415 1/3 innings over 88 appearances (68 starts) in a four-year span with the Texas Rangers. He'll represent rotation depth for the Friars to begin the 2022 season.

Right-hander Nick Martinez's four-year, $20 million deal with the San Diego Padres didn't quite make it through before the deadline on Wednesday night, so he technically remains a free agent with the sport's lockout beginning on Thursday. However, there's no reason to believe that the two sides won't finalize the agreement after a new Collective Bargaining Agreement is done. Martinez's deal includes opt-outs after the first and second seasons. The 31-year-old spent the last four years in Japan and had a very nice 1.62 ERA for the SoftBank Hawks last season. In his four seasons with the Texas Rangers before going overseas, he was 17-30 with a 4.77 ERA. It's unclear if San Diego's crowded starting rotation will have room for Martinez to begin the 2022 season.
