Russell Martin Meets With the Cubs, Talking to Four Teams

Published:

Bruce Levine reports that Russell Martin met with the Chicago Cubs on Thursday, and that the catcher is talking with four clubs.

Earlier in the week we heard that the Cubs would be going after Martin. The Pirates are probably one of the four clubs Levine mentions. I’m not sure who the other two are, although I’d guess one of them is the Dodgers. Martin still hasn’t officially declined his qualifying offer, although I think that’s inevitable at this point.

UPDATE 11:48 AM: Levine writes that the Dodgers, Blue Jays, and Pirates are the other three teams that Martin and his agent will meet with.
