Tribe Targeting Clay Buchholz from Red Sox In Exchange for Victor Martinez
The dismantling of the Cleveland Indians is nearly complete and the last person the Tribe is looking to unload is Victor Martinez. The Boston Red Sox look to be the number one suitor for with various reports saying the Tribe wants Clay Buchholz in exchange for the All-Star Catcher.
If the name Buchholz rings a bell you probably will remember that the youngster threw a no-hitter in only his second start in the big leagues in 2007. Since that gem, things haven't gone too smoothly for the player who is now 24 years old. While still highly regarded as a prospect, he went only 2-9 last season in the Big Leagues and was demoted to Triple A. In his Major League career he has compiled a 6-11 record with a 5.29 ERA.

Clay Buchholz
This report is erroneous on multiple levels. First, Clay Buchholz is not 23 years old. Second, "things haven't gone too smoothly" since his no-hitter???
Have you seen his minor league ERA record? He has mowed down AAA.
We had to do a double-take on this article as it appears it was written a few years ago.
Victor Martinez Trade
The article says 24 years old. As for struggling, who cares what he is doing in the minors. The Indians need Major League players. That is why fans were so upset at yesterdays trade. At least Buchholz has done something at the big league level.
This was from the Boston Herald today. The Indians are not budging and still are asking for Buchholz in the deal:
