Martinez to Boston, other trades, and more

  • The Red Sox are close to trading for Indians first baseman/catcher Victor Martinez. Ed Price says the trade is looking good. This might kill the Adrian Gonzalez to Boston talks. Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports that Nick Hagadone and Justin Masterson, both pitchers, are in the deal for Victor.
  • Orlando Cabrera was traded to the Twins today. The A's will get SS prospect Tyler Ladenorf, and the Twins will also get cash.
  • The Brewers acquired pitcher Claudio Vargas from LA today. In return, catcher Vinny Rottino was sent to the Dodgers.
  • The Pirates are most likely done dealing, but not necessarily. They will listen to offers for pitcher like Paul Maholm, Zach Duke, and Matt Capps.
  • The Angles and Dodgers are battling for Heath Bell.
  • Jayson Stark has heard that the asking price for Adrian Gonzalez is way too high.

80 minutes to the deadline... More on the way!
