Martin — who is the biggest free agent at catcher — is expected to get a large multi-year offer which could be as high as $13-$15 million per year over a 4-5 year contract.
Martin has already met with the Cubs — as reported by CBS Chicago’s Bruce Levine — and will also visit the Pirates, Dodgers and Blue Jays for “serious conversations”.
