The big question becomes; how will Martinez's surgically-repaired knee hold up? http://tigers.scout.com/2/1267443.html 2047 Jason Klatt http://tigers.scout.com/2/1267443.html Sun, 17 Feb 2013 15:44:00 GMT 0 273 Detroit tigers Ready to take a look back at the performers of 2011 and what's in store for them in 2012?

Next up on the docket is last off-season's big free agent acquisition - designated hitter Victor Martinez. http://tigers.scout.com/2/1125723.html 2047 Paul Wezner http://tigers.scout.com/2/1125723.html Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:30:00 GMT 0 273 Detroit tigers It's all but certain Detroit will open the season with no third catcher, as it did last year, but the complicating factor is that this season, both catchers will be in the lineup at the same time for most games. http://tigers.scout.com/2/1055603.html 2047 The Sports Xchange http://tigers.scout.com/2/1055603.html Sun, 13 Mar 2011 16:42:00 GMT 0 273 Detroit tigers Ready to talk Tigers? Want to hear the opinion of the TigsTown staff? Welcome to the TigsTown Roundtable! This week's question: Are you happy with the Tigers signing of Victor Martinez, and the plan for him to be the DH most days? http://tigers.scout.com/2/1027503.html 2047 The TigsTown Staff http://tigers.scout.com/2/1027503.html Thu, 02 Dec 2010 12:28:00 GMT 0 273 Detroit tigers On Friday morning, the Tigers officially announced the signing of catcher and designated hitter Victor Martinez to a four-year deal reportedly worth (though not confirmed) $50 million over the length of the contract. http://tigers.scout.com/2/1025673.html 2047 Paul Wezner / Bill Ferris http://tigers.scout.com/2/1025673.html Fri, 26 Nov 2010 15:59:00 GMT 0 273 Detroit tigers According to numerous media reports including from Ignacio Serrano of ESPN Deportes and El Nacional, the Tigers and catcher Victor Martinez have agreed to a 4-year deal worth an estimated $50 million. http://tigers.scout.com/2/1024953.html 2047 Paul Wezner http://tigers.scout.com/2/1024953.html Wed, 24 Nov 2010 00:22:00 GMT 0 273 Detroit tigers The great purge of 2009 continues for the Indians, who sent All-Star catcher Victor Martinez to the Boston Red Sox for three more pitchers this afternoon. Right-handers Justin Masterson and Bryan Price and lefty Nick Hagadone join the crowded cluster of prospects acquired by general manager Mark Shapiro for established players. Most importantly to the Indians, their player payroll gets cheaper. http://indians.scout.com/2/883598.html 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/2/883598.html Fri, 31 Jul 2009 19:36:00 GMT 0 264 Cleveland indians Frustrated Indians fans are speaking out, calling for manager Eric Wedge to be fired. That's what everybody does when their favorite team is in a funk. It's gotta be the fault of one guy, right? It can't possibly be because the 25 often over-rated players on the roster are not performing up to par. It's that one guy causing all the pitchers' walks, batters' strikeouts and fielders' miscues. http://indians.scout.com/2/863912.html 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/2/863912.html Sun, 10 May 2009 14:14:00 GMT 0 264 Cleveland indians Victor Martinez finally returned to the Indians. He walked, got a hit, and scored a run. So much for the good news. Cleveland lost to the lowly Seattle Mariners, 3-2, snapping a season-high winning streak at 10 games on Friday night. Raul Ibanez drove in all of Seattle's runs, two of them with his 22nd homer. Jhonny Peralta hit into two of three double plays that hurt potential Tribe rallies. http://indians.scout.com/2/784702.html 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/2/784702.html Sat, 30 Aug 2008 03:32:00 GMT 0 264 Cleveland indians Hot News for C Victor Martinez http://indians.scout.com/a.z?s=264&p=9&c=2&cid=780325&nid=3538254&fhn=1 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/a.z?s=264&p=9&c=2&cid=780325&nid=3538254&fhn=1 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 21:48:01 GMT 1 264 Cleveland indians The bad news keeps mounting for the Indians, who fell to Minnesota 8-5 and lost catcher Victor Martinez, too. Martinez left with a strained right elbow and is scheduled for an MRI exam on Thursday. The switch-hitter, hobbled all season by a strained left hamstring, hurt his elbow while batting in the first inning. The Tribe only hopes he doesn't join a long list of key players to be sidelined. http://indians.scout.com/2/761607.html 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/2/761607.html Thu, 12 Jun 2008 05:37:00 GMT 1 264 Cleveland indians It took Victor Martinez 666 games to finally get a walk-off hit. The Indians' all-star catcher celebrated it, too, after singling with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning Saturday to give Cleveland a 4-3 win over the New York Yankees. That it took the career .302 hitter that many games to do it is even more remarkable than the way the Indians and Yankees played this see-saw game. http://indians.scout.com/2/750187.html 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/2/750187.html Sun, 27 Apr 2008 03:18:00 GMT 0 264 Cleveland indians No real news may be good news regarding Victor Martinez. The Indians issued a brief statement this morning that the All-Star catcher "is day to day with a mild left hamstring strain," and "no roster move involving Victor is being considered at this time." Martinez left Cleveland's 10-8 opening-day win in the second inning Monday. He was hurt trying to advance to second base on a pitch in the dirt. http://indians.scout.com/2/742498.html 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/2/742498.html Tue, 01 Apr 2008 14:34:00 GMT 0 264 Cleveland indians WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -- Eric Wedge says it is time that Victor Martinez got credit for being more than a great hitter. The Cleveland Indians’ manager says the two-time All-Star's reputation should change from great-hitting catcher to great catcher who can hit. http://indians.scout.com/2/739001.html 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/2/739001.html Wed, 19 Mar 2008 22:31:00 GMT 0 264 Cleveland indians Hot News for C Victor Martinez http://indians.scout.com/a.z?s=264&p=9&c=2&cid=736061&nid=3538254&fhn=1 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/a.z?s=264&p=9&c=2&cid=736061&nid=3538254&fhn=1 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 01:01:45 GMT 1 264 Cleveland indians
