Answer: I don't know if the Phillies tried to sign Martinez, but it's likely they at least kicked the tires. Martinez, 31, has obviously turned into one of baseball's premier power hitters and would have looked a lot better in the cleanup spot than Santana. That said, I don't know how much interest he would have had in the Phillies given that they were coming off a 66-win season. It's the same problem they could face with Bryce Harper and Manny Machado this offseason. Are the Phillies really an attractive team to an elite free agent? Or will they have to overpay to get one of the two best players?
