They got a very good player with a good contract. It doesnt address any of their pitching issues and they did give up some pretty good players to get him.
If Martinez was a full time catcher it would be a better deal. They really need to shed Ortiz, Lowell and Varitek after this year though I'm doubting there any takers for Big Papi or Lowell.
