Rays Also Interested In Victor Martinez
Uncategorized July 23rd. 2009, 2:00pm[Update] Here is the non-Twitter story. No names have been exchanged, but Cleveland likes the Rays minor league system (who doesn’t?).
[2:30pm] According to Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated, the Rays are also talking to the Indians about catcher Victor Martinez.

Just when we thought it was going to be a quiet trade deadline for the Rays. This seems like too much chatter for nothing to happen.

Just when you think you’re out, they pull you back in.
Could you imagine getting both Martinez and Lee? I read that there may be a third team involved to get the Indians the type of pitching they’re looking for to get this deal done.
I like.
No one has a problem with Martinez after that crap went down earlier in the year? I would have a hard time warming up to him. I don’t care how well he plays.
V-Mart may seem less attractive once the Rays are done playing the ChiSox and their catcher.
was about to say the exat same thing… i hate the guy. not as much as Pierznewski, but close. Yeah, he’s great and all but I think V-Mart screams “total douche”
Yes, but if they trade for him he’ll be OUR total douche. Big difference.
it’d be great to have v-mart, but even better to have him and Lee, what do you think it would cost to get both? I know a lot, but what exactly
In light of the past few weeks, I’m feeling like the rays should sell.
Reminds me of when the Bucs got Jerramy Stevens. Every time he did something good, it was a bittersweet feeling for me. Wanted to hate him, but couldn’t completely do it.
Hate him… love him..your not going to marry him!!!
We need a catcher who can play!!!
