    Last season, the Boston Red Sox acquired Victor Martinez from the Cleveland Indians to add another star to their lineup. Heading into the 2010 baseball campaign, Martinez has a chance to have a fantastic season. He’s already so happy in Boston that he wants to sign a contract extension.

    When talking to the Boston Herald, Martinez indicated that prior to the start of the season, he’ll listen to offers from the Red Sox to extend his contract. The 31-year-old could conceivably get a hefty multi-year extension. However, Martinez also said that once the season starts, he won’t be open to any contract talk.

    In 56 games with the Red Sox last season, Martinez hit .336 with eight homers, 41 RBIs and 32 runs. For his career, the native of Venezuela is hitting .299 with 111 homers, 559 RBIs and 445 runs. His best season came in 2007 when he hit .301 with 25 homers, 114 RBIs and 78 runs for the Indians.

    While Martinez split his time at first base and catcher last season for the Red Sox, Boston plans to use Martinez as the team’s everyday catch this year.
