Russell is still quite good though - his 1.8 WAR is 3rd on the team. His offense is around league average (which is above replacement level) and his defense is still quite good. I'm not really worried about Russell's contract at all.

Martin has two years left right? I don't know how much of him playing as many games at third this year has to do with Donaldson needing a rest, or Martin possibly needing a break from catching. I'm thinking it's somewhere in between.
His is definitely a more manageable deal. Both guys seem to provide some form of Leadership...will the next wave of guys be in the Majors while these guys are still there though to benefit from it?
