Funny thing is, Jansen has a better projection for the 2019 season than Martin and likewise with Gurriel compared to Tulo. I really like Martin and hate seeing him go but there is no point in having him on the team.
Yeah, I still like Martin a lot, but moving him to a contender was always going to be the right move for everyone involved. Jansen is going to be a top catcher in the league, likely starting this year, so there's no reason to keep Martin. Maile can fill in just fine when needed and McGuire will be in Buffalo.
