Said Martinez: "I realized that I still had a lot to offer the game. My knowledge could maybe help younger guys. I enjoyed being around the clubhouse, on the field." Although all smiles with the Rays, Martinez envisions a future as a manager. "It will happen in due time," Martinez said. "Everyone keeps telling me how young I am, but if the right opportunity comes up, I'm ready to manage."
