Victor Martinez - C - Boston Red Sox
Nov. 9, 2009 - 1:05 PM ET

Red Sox exercised catcher Victor Martinez's $7.1 million option for 2010.

Obviously no surprise. Martinez hit .336/.405/.507 for the Red Sox after coming over in a midseason deal with the Indians and will be the team's starting catcher in 2010 regardless of whether Jason Varitek returns.
