V-Mart to the Red Sox, 1 Hour Until The Deadline

Via Peter Gammons:

The Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians appear to be closing in on a trade that would send Victor Martinez to Boston for prospects.

Talks between the teams have "heated up" in the final hours before the 4 p.m. ET non-waiver trade deadline and the key Red Sox players in the deal are Justin Masterson and hard-throwing, 23-year-old left-hander Nick Hagadone of Class A Greenville, sources told ESPN's Peter Gammons.

Great job by the Red Sox to get Victor Martinez without giving up Buchholz or Bard. I wonder if the Yankees will make a move to retaliate

Word is that the Mets may be getting Adam LaRoche because he is now expendable. I wonder how Carlos Beltran will react to this after their public spat this season

One hour to go!!!
