The 5-foot-10, 160-pound outfielder tallied at least 30 stolen bases for the 4th time in the last 5 seasons (2012-16), one of five players to accomplish this feat. Dyson hit safely in a career-best 10 consecutive games last season, batting .372 (16x43) with 10 runs, 1 double, 1 triple, 3 RBI and 5 stolen bases from Sept. 2-17.

The 6-foot-2, 200-pound outfielder was one of 4 center fielders in the Major Leagues last season to hit 15 or more home runs and record 20 or more stolen bases, joining Ian Desmond, Odubel Herrera and Mike Trout. His 11 outfield assists ranked 2nd among American League center fielders, trailing only Boston's Jackie Bradley Jr. (13). Martin was acquired from Texas along with right-handed pitcher Anthony Bass in exchange for right-handed pitcher Tom Wilhelmsen, outfielder James Jones and a Player to Be Named Later (Patrick Kivlehan) on Nov. 16, 2015.
