Batter's Box Interactive Magazine - To Russell, My Catcher

Even more recently, Martin joined the Fan 590 in Toronto with Greg Brady to discuss the excitement of signing with the Yankees, being signed as the everyday catcher for the Yankees while they still have Jorge Posada, how many teams actually pursued him this off-season, and much more. (And. oh by the way, the catching Canuck has some kind words for the Jays, his new divisional rivals ...)

I hope all those fans who clamour for the Jays to target Canadians boo Martin incessantly for choosing NYY > TOR.
