Cliff Lee,Ben Francisco and now..Victor Martinez!! Wow! Talk about fire sales!
My apologies to all my Tribe fans..it's unfortunate that you have management that doesn't want to pay anything out! PJ< I hope for your sake Shapiro and company get canned for good.

Same as always John, it's all about the money and I'm not talking about for the players. I'm talking about Shapiro's wallet. This is the same crap they pulled back in the 90's when they traded every player they knew would bring in the big bucks. They showed an interview with Martinez and the poor guy was really upset. He had no clue that he was going to be traded. He's been with the Tribe since the 90's. Cliff Lee, what manager/owner in his right mind would trade away a Cy Young Award winning pitcher. >>>>>Shapiro. It's Cleveland John, what can I say. :( I hope your Tigers do get Sizemore, he's probably next.

I could care less about Francisco. He waas terrible..
but Shapiro is the dumbest GM in the league ... he gives up Lee, Garko, and Betancourt for nothign...
and now he trades the team leader for... what do ya know? nothing.
Edit:
Insane, how about we throw in Asdrubal Cabrera and Carl Pavano in with Grady for ya?

Whatever, I'm tried of getting angry. We're gonna be pretty effed up for a few years. Simple as that. No need to whine EFF IT.
And Ben Francisco? He was dead weight. Maybe he'll turn around in Philly. Good luck to him.
EDIT: And to the person above me, you can't just get him for nothing SILLY..........You'll have to give us a pack of sunflower seeds.

Don't forget Mark De Rosa.
However you did get good trade value in Chris Perez and Jess Todd.

Hopefully the White Sox can get Grady Sizemore for nothing....
