Latest news
Martinez declined his part of a $20 mutual option for 2027 and is now a free agent, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Martinez will be given a $4 million buyout instead. The veteran right-hander turned 36 in August, but he could net a multi-year contract this offseason after posting a 3.10 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 109:26 K:BB over 180 innings covering 31 regular-season starts for the Rays in 2026.

Martinez was charged with the loss in Game 1 of the World Series at Milwaukee on Friday, allowing two runs on five hits with five strikeouts and no walks over five innings.
The Brewers pounced on the 36-year-old during the opening frame, scoring twice on two singles and a triple to put Tampa Bay in an early hole. Martinez bounced back from there, however, and followed up with four scoreless innings to keep the Rays close. The right-hander showed more swing-and-miss than usual after posting a 5.4 K/9 during the regular season, as he found some extra juice on his fastball and induced 10 whiffs on 73 pitches (52 strikes). Martinez now lines up to take the ball at home in a possible Game 5 for Tampa Bay.

Martinez will start Game 1 of the World Series in Milwaukee on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Giving Martinez the ball in Game 1 allows ace Drew Rasmussen an extra day of rest, and it pushes Freddy Peralta back to Game 3 at Tropicana Field, where he's posted a 2.03 ERA in five starts in 2026 between the regular and postseason. Both of Martinez's outings this postseason have been on the road, and he's allowed a total of three runs with a 6:3 K:BB over nine innings in those starts. The Brewers will counter with Jacob Misiorowski in Game 1.

Martinez earned the win in Game 4 of the ALCS against the Guardians on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits with three strikeouts and two walks across 5.1 innings.
The right-hander surrendered a run on two hits and a wild pitch during the opening frame but otherwise was able to keep Cleveland off the board to help even the series at 2-2. It was an improved effort from Martinez compared to his first playoff start during the ALDS, when he gave up two runs on five hits in 3.2 innings. He doesn't line up for another start versus the Guardians but could be available out of the bullpen for the final games of the series.

Martinez and the Rays won't face the Guardians on Friday in Game 4 of the ALCS, as the game was postponed due to rain.
Game 4 will now be played Saturday, and Game 5 will be pushed back to Sunday. Martinez will presumably remain in place as Tampa Bay's Game 4 starter and will be looking to bounce back after giving up two earned runs in just 3.2 innings during his last outing against the Yankees in the ALDS.
RotoWire via ESPN · Oct 17
The Rays list Martinez as their probable pitcher for Friday's ALCS Game 4 in Cleveland.
Martinez will be pitching on eight days' rest after yielding two runs over 3.2 innings in the Rays' ALDS Game 3 win over the Yankees. The right-hander logged a 3.10 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 109:26 K:BB over 180 regular-season innings for the Rays. The Guardians will counter with opener Shawn Armstrong as an opener, with Tanner Bibee or Joey Cantillo likely to handle bulk relief.
