V-Mart Lost To Motown

Well, that bridge is looking all the shakier in 2011. The Red Sox were outbid by the (are you ready?) Detroit Tigers for the services of Victor Martinez. So, welcome back Tek!

As a result, we lose the purest hitter in our lineup. Nice going, NOG! Maybe the $450 million you blew on that moronic soccer deal could have allowed you to extend the V-Mart offer to the 5 years that did the trick. We can probably expect the same result on the Beltre front.

Ready to scoop up those tickets, Nation?
