There are a couple reports floating around that Tino is in talks with ESPN to work as an on-air analyst. He has also talked with the Yankees about possibly serving as a spring-training instructor.

Yet according to one friend who spoke on the condition of anonymity, despite being unemployed with spring training ready to begin this week, Martinez hasn't completely decided to retire.

Whatever he decides to do, I wish him well. If I recall correctly, he was pretty popular with the ladies when he was with the team so who knows, maybe he could raise Baseball Tonight's ratings. My hope is that he (along with new ESPN hire Orel Hershiser) could provide give some ballast to a few of Peter Gammons' "I Heart Boston" spiels and provide some good insight during the season.
