re: Russell Martin has a new home.... Agrees to 2 year 17 million deal

The Romine back injury really put the organization behind as far as developing a MLB ready catcher. I think they trade for a low priced catcher or a guy with only a yr left on contract. They are getting below the tax hit line by 14 no matter the product on the field. I don't think the move is about lining their pockets but keeping their money from other organizations.
