Fox Sports is reporting that the Sox are on the verge of completing a deal for Victor Martinez, one that will include neither Clay Buchholz nor Daniel Bard.
Let me repeat that:
NEITHER BUCHHOLZ NOR BARD IS INCLUDED IN THIS DEAL.
Whew.
If that is the case, I would bet my meager life savings that another blockbuster is in the works.
Could this mean Halladay?
We shall see.
***UPDATE: Sources are now reporting that the Sox are sending Justin Masterson and pitcher Nick Hagadone plus a 2007 first-rounder to the Indians for Martinez.
That's Game 6!
