This is so fawking stupid. How can we not pay our All-Star catcher 8 mil?! WTFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!

First Winslow, now Martinez. Only one of my favorite players is left, LBJ.

Hey man. I am sure he was your favorite player, but the fact is:

- He's 31 years old with even older knees.

- He's a horrible defender and doesn't have the power a typical 1B has

- With that said, he is slow as shit, not a typical gap hitter

- His average dipped from .375 to .275 in 2 horrible hitting months

- We have Santana in the minors, who I think is MLB ready next year

This trade makes sense
