Pedro Martinez Rumors: Wants to play for contending team
ByThe agent for Pedro Martinez says the pitcher “wants to play”, but he only wants to play for a team that has a chance to win.
“He’s going to be the one to let me know, but it has to be the right situation. I know Pedro wants to play, but it definitely has to be a contending team, one that has a chance to make the playoffs and go deep,” Fernando Cuza told the Daily News. “Pedro’s in the D.R., maintaining himself in shape.”
Cuza says that Martinez will not be holding a workout audition for Major League scouts this year like he did last year. “The only reason Pedro did that was because of the way he finished with the Mets (2007-08) when he had a lot injuries,” said Cuza. “But he removed any doubts and showed he could still crank it up when he needs to.”
