The Mets’ late spring free-agent addition J.D. Martinez takes a swing at some Q&A with Post columnist Steve Serby.
Q: What is the biggest adversity or obstacle you had to overcome?
A: I think it’s when I hurt my foot in 2017.
Q: You thought your career was over in 2017?
A: Yes. … I tore my Lisfranc. I missed seven weeks of the season. … It was very depressing. It was very scary. It was my free agency year.
Q: How did you get through it?
A: Praying. Being with my family and my friends. There were days I was like, “This is not getting better.” There were weeks at a time when it just did not get better. I spent literally two weeks, and it hasn’t moved forward and it just still feels like s-t. That’s what the doctor was telling me, he’s like, “It’s not gonna get better, it’s one of those things where it can and it cannot.” It was very scary and a very tough time for me.
