Analysis: Victor Martinez Contract

Yesterday Victor Martinez received a new 4yr 68m dollar contract. Coming off an MVP type season (Victor posted career numbers in OBP, SLG, OPS, BA, hits, TB, and OPS+). the contract initially seems well-deserved. But looking through his age: going into his age 36 seasnon and the fact that he has had leg issues the contract is very concerning and shows the Tigers realization that their window is starting to close and that they need to win now.
