Nice trade without giving up too much, Masterson and prospect.

I don't like giving up Hagadone, but yeah, agree. Masterson has shown a fundamental inability to get lefties out, which means he'll never be a starter, so this is cheap IMO.

There goes your binky effin98, I told you Masterson is not that good, what a steal of a trade..............

This is great.
We needed a catcher two years ago.

Great news for the Sox! and I may get to see him play in person tomorrow or sunday. Sucks for Cleveland to trade him the day before his official bobblehead day at the stadium

We also traded Laroche for Kotchman.

Sticking up for him makes him my binky...OK then whatever floats your boat

They needed a bat, they got it in Martinez. They needed someone who could eventually replace Varitek if they wanted him at that position, they got it. They needed someone who could give Papi a "rest" while keeping better stats in the line up, they got it. He fills their offensive needs.

A "replacement" for Varitek? You realize VC is 32, correct?

And Varitek is 37...your point being?

I only wish they could have traded for another first baseman.
