Martinez, meanwhile, believes his Twitter account was broken into.

"There was a confusion. My Twitter account was hacked," Martinez told ESPNdeportes.com's Enrique Rojas on Wednesday. "It's my Twitter account and I understand what people are talking about and I should be responsible, but I want you to know that I do not have time to be doing that kind of thing.

 

So he's going with old trusty my account was hacked excuse.  Just fess up to it and move on.
