Boston Welcomes: Victor Martinez

The trade deadline has come and gone and if you were subscribed to our ATOS feed you would know that the Boston Red Sox made some nice moves with the last minute manuvering of one Theo Epstein.

In his last minute moves, Theo made two plays that will position the slumping Red Sox nicely moving forward for a playoff push. Nostradumbass got it half right when he said that Victor Martinez would be in a Red Sox uniform after the trade deadline, because we got him, but instead of trading our roid rage clutch hitter Big Papi, we sent Justin Masterson, Bryan Price and left-handed pitcher Nick Hagadone to Cleveland. Martinez will spend his time giving Jason Varitek a breather and can be used at 1st base as well.

In another move that gives the Sox more go-to room on the bench, Theo dealt Adam LaRoche to Atlanta for Casey Kotchman. This move undoubtedly will be good when the Red Sox are playing October baseball!!
