J.D. Martinez, a big-name Scott Boras client, is close to joining the Mets but won't debut yet due to overall body soreness. Martinez, 36, is set to DH at Single-A St. Lucie with his Mets debut delayed for conditioning. The Mets are cautious about committing to a specific debut date for Martinez, with the earliest possibility being Monday in Atlanta. Martinez's delayed debut is impacting the team's offensive strategy as they seek alternative ways to boost their performance.
