RUSSELL MARTIN RUMORS
New York Yankees Made Good Call By Not Extending Russell Martin

There are no great metrics for catcher defense, but Martin...

Yankees discussed a 3-year extension with Russell Martin

AJ claims too much tinkering and Martin agrees
How did the Yankees go from paying A.J. Burnett $82.5 million to paying $20 million just so he would go pitch for somebody else? A.J. thinks it might be too much tinkering from the coaching staff.
“I let a few too many people tinker with me, maybe,” Burnett told the AP. “When you let that happen, you start doubting yourself sometimes. You wonder, ‘Am I doing...

Yankees Should Extend Russell Martin
The arbitration deadline looms for the New York Yankees and Russell Martin. And if this writer was a betting man, the odds seem high that the team and its catcher are already in negotiations for a long-term deal.
