Victor Martinez is Officially a Member of the Boston Red Sox

As predicted earlier in the day, Victor Martinez has been dealt to the Boston Red Sox. However, the terms of the deal are different than I had previously thought. Instead of Clay Buchholz, the Red Sox sent Justin Masterson, Nick Hagadone and Bryan Price to the Indians. This gives the Indians three young pitchers while giving the Red Sox the big bat they were looking for. We discussed Martinez earlier, so I will now give you some information about the three pitchers that were involved in this trade. Masterson is a 24 year old right handed pitcher with a career line of 9-8 with a 3.76 ERA, a 1.28 WHIP, 135 K's and 65 BB's. Nick Hagadone is a 23 year old lefty with a career minor league record of 1 wins and 4 losses with an ERA of 1.82, a 1.01 WHIP, 77 K's and 28 BB's. Bryan Price is a 22 year old righty with a 4.42 ERA, a 1.372 WHIP, 140 K's and 41 BB's. The Indians completed their search for the fountain of youth and the Red Sox were able to land the power hitter that they were after. In other related news, the Red Sox also dealt newly acquired Adam LaRoche to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for Casey Kotchman.
