Evans: Giants Still In Hunt For Eddy Julio Martinez

By Jeff Todd | October 9, 2015 at 7:31pm CDT

Despite multiple reports suggesting that free agent outfielder Eddy Julio Martinez had agreed to terms with the Cubs, Giants GM Bobby Evans indicated today that his team remains in the chase for the young Cuban. Evans made those comments in a podcast interview with Tim Kawakami of the Mercury News.

Martinez, of course, had initially been set to join the San Francisco organization — as Evans himself acknowledged — before that deal reportedly fell through. Reports suggested that Martinez was seeking a $3MM bonus, a $500K increase over what he had been said to be getting from the Giants. Just one day later, Martinez was said to have reached a contract with the Cubs at the higher amount.

“That’s probably going to be a great story here in the near future,” Evans said of the Martinez situation. He noted that he is still holding talks with the youngster’s agents at BHSC. When asked whether San Francisco still had a shot at landing Martinez, Evans responded: “I want to be careful not to be too presumptuous, but yeah, I think there’s still that chance.”

Needless to say, there’s an immense amount of uncertainty and a general lack of clarity regarding Martinez’s status. It remains unclear what kinds of motivations and factors are driving the unusual situation.

    Two teams in a bidding war over a free agent. Both teams negotiating. Teams leaking imminent signings that do not happen……This is unusual???

    Honestly, as a Giants fan, I hope they DON’T sign him. Beyond the fact that basically anything goes in Cuba the latest guys have been so lack luster in the states seemingly for the obvious reason that there’s only so much you can, and plenty do, get away with.
