WASHINGTON -- Though J.D. Martinez's five-year, $110 million deal with the Red Sox includes opt-out clauses after the final three seasons, the slugger said Monday that he's willing to consider re-structuring his deal and making a more solid commitment to Boston.

"Absolutely," Martinez said when asked if he was open to a long-term deal that would erase the opt-out clauses. "It obviously would have to be discussed later. I've liked my time there. It's been fun so far, so I don't see why not."

Martinez is earning $23.75 million in the first two seasons of the deal, with opt-outs coming after 2019, 2020 and 2012. An MVP candidate in his first year in Boston, Martinez would almost certainly test free agency at the end of next season if he continues on his current pace.

Martinez said he has enjoyed his time in Boston despite the extra media attention, noting that Boston is much less "aggressive" than he expected it to be. He appreciates the passion Red Sox fans bring to Fenway Park on a nightly basis.

"[It's] the fans, the passion, the environment you get to play every day in," Martinez said. "They love their baseball and love their team. They'll die with them and they'll live with them."

If the Red Sox make it worth his while, it appears the 30-year-old would be willing to finish his career in Boston.

"I like the front office," Martinez said. "I like the manager. I like everything, the way it's run. I think it's trending in a really good way. I wouldn't mind staying there."
