USA Today is reporting that the Indians have dealt Victor Martinez to the Boston Red Sox for pitchers Justin Masterson and Nick Hagadone. Masterson is 3-3 with a 4.50 ERA with the Red Sox this season, and Hagadone is at Class A Greenville in the South Atlantic League.
Perhaps, Matt LaPorta will finally get called up from Columbus to take Martinez’ roster spot. I would also guess that Masterson stays with the Tribe, and hopefully goes into the rotation.
A full analysis later.
