J.D. Martinez is heading to the Dodgers.
The 35-year-old designated hitter agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal with Los Angeles, according to the The Post’s Jon Heyman.
Martinez, a five-time All-Star, hit free agency after five seasons with the Red Sox. During his time in Boston, he emerged as one of the league’s best hitters – winning the American League Hank Aaron Award in 2018.

The addition of Martinez adds more hitting depth to an already-loaded Dodgers squad. The signing also reunites him with Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts, a former Red Sox star who Martinez won a World Series with in 2018.
