Heyman On V-Mart, Red Sox, Chapman

By Ben Nicholson-Smith [July 3, 2009 at 1:41pm CST]

Jon Heyman of SI.com says the Red Sox will come calling if the Indians are willing to part with Victor Martinez. And take this for what it's worth, but the Indians were scouting Boston's best prospects this week. Here are details on those two clubs and the rest of Heyman's rumors:

Clay Buchholz, Justin Masterson and Michael Bowden are just the sort of MLB-ready pitchers the Indians seek.
Still, the Indians would require a stunning amount in return for Martinez or Cliff Lee, since both players can be part of a contending Indians club for affordable 2010 options.
Generally speaking, the Red Sox are reluctant to deal their top young pitching.
The Indians are relatively deep at catcher, with Kelly Shoppach and prospect Carlos Santana.
Red Sox first base prospect Lars Anderson could also appeal to the Indians.
The Pirates initially asked for Craig Stammen or Garret Mock in their recent deal with the Nats, but Mike Rizzo wasn't willing to deal them.
The Phillies discussed Pedro Martinez, since there are few good fits for them on the trade market now.
Heyman says Doug Davis makes sense for the Brewers.
A D'Backs person says "[Dan] Haren stays," even though many of his teammates are believed to be available.
Heyman names the Yankees as the early favorites to sign Aroldis Chapman.
