Newsbreakers

November 9, 2009

The Boston Red Sox have exercised their $7.1 million 2010 team option on catcher Victor Martinez, according to ESPN.

Our View:

They declined their 2010 team option on Jason Varitek, as well, though Varitek has a player option he can vest. Martinez hit .303 with 23 home runs and 108 RBI in 155 games between the Indians and Red Sox last season.

October 25, 2009

According to the Boston Globe, the Red Sox have five days after the completion of the World Series to act on Victor Martinez's $7.1 million option for the 2010 season.

Our View:

The Sox appear to want to keep their trade deadline acquisition, but may want to sign him to a long-term deal instead of just grabbing him for next season. How much he receives will likely depend on what kind of deal Joe Mauer gets. Stay tuned.

October 9, 2009

According to the Boston Globe, Victor Martinez will catch Josh Beckett in Game 2 of the ALDS on Friday and and hit third against the Angels.

Our View:

V-Mart caught Game 1 as well and, with the Sox trailing the Halos 1-0 in the series, they likely wanted to keep his feared bat in the lineup. He should provided significant pop over Jason Varitek.

October 3, 2009

Victor Martinez hit a grand slam in the Red Sox 11-6 win over the Indians on Saturday.

Our View:

V-Mart now has 108 RBI this season with Boston and Cleveland and the catcher/first baseman is a surefire candidate for comeback player of the year. He played just 73 games last season and hit two homers and drove in 35.

September 22, 2009

Victor Martinez went 1-for-4 with a single and an RBI in tonight's 5-1 loss at Kansas City.

Our View:

The Red Sox only mustered two hits in the game, and Martinez was their lone source of scoring. He managed to extend his hitting streak to 21 games as well.
