Will Gonzalez of ESPNdeportes.com says that pitcher Pedro Martinez and the Philadelphia Phillies are negotiating on a 2010 contract.

Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. has acknowledged that both sides have been talking, however he noted that there was no urgency to sign Martinez, but that could change.

Pedro Martinez has been linked to the Mariners, Twins and Dodgers over the past few weeks. Mike Silverman of the Boston Globe mentioned that Martinez will begin a throwing program last week which coincides with Amaro mentioning that Martinez is unavailable to pitch now, but is in the process of training.

Martinez, 38, was 5-1 with a 3.63 ERA in 9 games with the Phillies in 2009. He signed with the team in mid-season and intends to do the same thing this year. You can see Martinez’s contract history and statistics here.
