Jerry Dipoto has shown no signs of slowing down as he has made his third trade in the last 11 days sending Tom Wilhelmsen, James Jones and a player to be named later to the Rangers for center fielder Leonys Martin and RHP Anthony Bass.
In Martin Dipoto gets the athletic center fielder he was looking for. On a conference call with the media, Dipoto called Martin one of the "premier" center fielders in baseball and said that he had been a target of his since the get go. The fact that Martin put up his worst year offensively and was coming off hamate bone surgery made him that much more acquirable.
