Boston Interested In Victor Martinez
20th May, 2009 - 1:06 pm
Plain-Dealer - Boston reportedly is interested in catcher Victor Martinez to help carry the offensive load because of David Ortiz's struggles.

GM Mark Shapiro is talking to general managers, but it's not about subtracting players in preparation for next year.

"We're doing everything we can to get better for this year," Shapiro said.

The Indians hold affordable club options on them for 2010 - $9 million for Lee and $7.2 million for Martinez. If Martinez is traded this year, his base salary for 2010 will increase to $7.7 million. [READ]
