開給Russell Martin 合約 重點希望他當先發C

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Yankees have extended an offer to free agent
Russell Martin and explained to his agent they view him as a starting catcher.

“They made an offer and have serious interest,’’ agent Matt Colleran said
Thursday. “We are at the point where we are having serious discussions with
the Yankees, Red Sox and Toronto.’’

Asked what role the Yankees have told the right-handed hitting Martin they
want him for, Colleran said, “starting catcher.’’

Though the Yankees never guaranteed stud prospect Jesus Montero the starting
job when they told Jorge Posada to be ready for extended DH duty, it was
assumed Montero would get first crack at replacing Posada behind the plate.
If Martin signs it could be an indication the Yankees aren’t convinced
Montero is ready.


Martin, 27, was non-tendered by the Dodgers recently. They were wary of going
to arbitration with him after me made $5 million last year when he batted
.248 with five homers and 26 RBIs in 97 games. His season ended Aug. 3 when
he broke his hip sliding into home plate.

Before being non-tendered, the Yankees talked to the Dodgers about a deal for
the 5-foot-10, 230-pound Martin but nothing developed.

The Red Sox also made an offer to Martin, according to ESPN.com.

The Red Sox need to replace Victor Martinez at catcher. He signed with the
Tigers. Jason Varitek and Jarrod Saltalamacchia are Boston's catchers.
