LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — J.D. Martinez has a chance to see in person what his monster year is worth.

The free-agent star who hit .303 with 45 home runs was ready for a meet-and-greet session with teams at the winter meetings. The Boston Red Sox wanted to see him, having hit the fewest homers in the majors last season.

“The only reason I think you have players talk to owners, presidents and general managers is there’s a request to really get to know the player,” agent Scott Boras said Wednesday. “They get to ask questions that they can never ask because they’re never in front of the player.”

St. Louis added a power bat, swinging a deal for Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The bullpen carousel continued to turn, too.

Side-arming Joe Smith moved to the World Series champion Houston Astros, who wanted a right-hander tough on righty hitters after Luke Gregerson went to St. Louis.

Seattle appeared to close in on Juan Nicasio, who led the National League with 76 appearances. The New York Mets reached a deal with righty Anthony Swarzak, a person familiar with the talks told the AP.

Minnesota boosted its rotation — for late 2018, at the earliest. The Twins agreed to a $10 million, two-year contract with former Yankees righty Michael Pineda, who had Tommy John surgery last July.

Ozuna’s acquisition could prompt the Cardinals to make another trade, with outfielder Stephen Piscotty perhaps heading to Oakland.

Yu Darvish and Jake Arrieta remain the top free-agent starters.
