Poll: Keep or Trade Fernando Martinez
Last week, the New York Post and ESPN said the Tigers are shopping OF Curtis Granderson, who will earn $26 million over the next three seasons.
Last week, Buster Olney of ESPN.com said, while teams like the Cubs, Red Sox, Yankees, Mets, Orioles and others might look in to the possibility of making a deal for Granderson, “it’s unlikely that anybody is going to hand over a couple of big-time prospects for

…frankly, right now, being that he hasn’t played since summer, where he struggled in the big leagues, if wonder if the Mets could even trade him for full value, assuming they wanted to…
