JD said today that he doesn’t mind moving around, that he actually likes it. He also would get a $2.5 mil kicker if he opted out. Those words certainly make it sound like he’s at least considering moving on from Boston

You are a nutjob.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
Yes, indeed. Nobody should be happy to see JD go.
He's a class act and was not overpaid.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
He was healthy and a consummate professional whose approach rubbed off on the other hitters in your lineup. They guy is a nightmare to pitch to as well. He’s the best DH in baseball. Anytime you lose the best player at a position, you downgrade your production. This may be better for the Sox in the long run as they can get under the cap and start the rebuild sooner with his money off the books
Yep. Just get ready for a 72-90 2020.

Yeah, Big Papi sucked too. Plus, the entire ALeague pitching staff did nothing at the plate all year. DFA them all.
This year J.D. Martinez posted 3.2 fWAR and an wRC+ of 139 in 146 games while Minnesota designated hitter Nelson Cruz posted 4.3 fWAR and a wRC+ of 163 in 120 games:

You got me. Best DH in baseball over the past 3 years. Nelson Cruz and the rocketball/PED got his fWAR up
i would be OK with him moving on with much gratitude for 2018.

He's most definitely among the best DHs in the game. He will be a loss...
Even with the $2.5mill, he is likely to make less money than if he does not opt out.
i think he would be dumb to opt out. but never underestimate the evilness and power of scott boras. he got Manny to poison pill himself as he wasnt making a dime on the existing Sox contract and needed an extension/new deal done.

If I'm the Yankees, I'd sign JD in a heart beat with short right field porch. He'd hit 50 homers easy with the lineup around him.
