Rumor: Red Sox meeting on Russell Martin
The Red Sox already have Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Ryan Lavarnway in place behind the plate next year, but that hasn't stopped them from meeting to consider going after Russell Martin, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.

The offseason officially starts today
With the Giants win over the Tigers last night, the 2012/13 postseason has officially begun. Yankees fans are going to expect big things this offseason, however their team finished with the best record in the American League and probably needs a few tweaks rather than a major overhaul.

Yankees like Martin, but there is no guarantee they’ll keep him
The Yankees like Russell Martin and want to have him back this season. Yes, he was absolutely putrid offensively for most of the season, but if you haven't noticed already the free agent market for catchers is very thin which makes Martin look like not such a bad option. Unfortunately, as Brian Cashman warns, just because ...
