I find myself wondering what this means for Jesus Montero - I doubt that the Yankees would be pursuing Martin to simply serve as a back-up or mentor, and I'm positive that Martin could find a starting job elsewhere. Will Montero begin the season in Triple-A? Will he be in some sort of platoon with Martin? Will he serve as Martin's back-up? Or, more pessimistically, does this mean that he's on the trading block? After all, were the Yankees to whiff on Cliff Lee, Montero would be the Yankees best trading chip.
