Some new Martinez talk

156

From Nick Cafardo: 1. Boston, Tampa Bay, and San Francisco have talked to the Indians--the line is that they "keep fielding offers"--but the Indians seem determined to pry out top dollar from any trading partner. 2. "According to one NL scout, after the Indians turned down Buchholz for Victor Martinez, the Sox countered with a package of Masterson, Michael Bowden, and an outfield prospect. The Indians turned it down." My impression from earlier reports was that it was the Red Sox who turned down a Buchholz for Martinez swap. Interesting.
