There were probably a bunch of teams putting claims in here, but the Angels had priority. Martin, 25, posted a 3.97 ERA in 11 1/3 innings for the Rays in the first half of the season. He doesn’t offer a particularly high ceiling in relief, but he could prove useful in the sixth and seventh innings with his mid-90s fastball, cutter and splitter and he still has all of his option years remaining.
