Tribe Trades Vick Martinez

[zilby]

Cleveland has agreed to trade C/1B Victor Martinez to the Red Sox, SI.com has learned.

The deal is believed to include right-hander Justin Masterson. MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo reports that another player involved is lefty prospect Nick Hagadone. And SI.com's Tom Verducci says minor league right-hander Bryan Price could also be headed to Cleveland.

Clay Buchholz is not included in the deal, SI.com has learned. Hard-throwing reliever Daniel Bard won't be involved either, as Cleveland only wants starters.

Whats with all the Hedo Turkoglu avatars? He's like a cult hero now?

Wish they could have worked around Victor. With him and Hafner in the lineup, both healthy, we have a chance to win. Who is going to mentor the young latin players? Who is going to be the one to provide SOME kind of fiery emotion on this team? Grady? Hafner? Jeremy Sowers? A team full of soft-spoken "grinders". Now the rest of the world gets to see Victor's importance.

Normally, when I see Hedo's face I want to break something, but when I see your avy I have to admit, I feel like dancing.
