I'm so happy to keep Buchholz too. I know he hasn't delivered at the big league level yet but his potential will continue to make me all hot and sweaty

LaRoche was cool for the week or so but this is a definite upgrade

Maybe the Fish aren't out of the AdGonz sweepstakes quite yet?

First baseman Adam LaRoche becomes expendable for Boston if they complete the Victor Martinez trade; Jon Heyman of SI tells us via Twitter that the Braves are interested. LaRoche came up with the Braves; they traded him to Pittsburgh for Mike Gonzalez in '07.

Kotchman for LaRoche doesnt make much sense to me.

[MiamiHomer]

So what happens to Edwin Encarnacion.

[DColts]

FUCK, the Red Sox traded for Victor Martinez

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

The Indians receive three young pitchers in the deal: right-hander Justin Masterson, lefty prospect Nick Hagadone and minor league right-hander Bryan Price.

The Red Sox completed the deal without having to part with either coveted starter Clay Buchholz or hard-throwing reliever Daniel Bard.

The Red Sox are also talking to Atlanta about Adam LaRoche, the former Brave, SI.com has learned. Boston just acquired LaRoche from the Pirates on Wednesday, July 22, but he becomes expendable with the addition of Martinez.

So what happens to Edwin Encarnacion.

2:56pm: FOX Sports says the Blue Jays will get Edwin Encarnacion and a minor leaguer. Rolen is expected to approve the deal.

This Kotchman for LaRoche deal is confuses me. What were the Braves thinking?

Maybe that Kotchman has no power and Freddie Freeman will take over 1b next season?
