Pedro Martinez’s agent told ESPNdeportes.com that Pedro Martinez has decided he will not play in the 2010 season.

“After a meeting to make a decision about his immediate future, Pedro decided he will not play in 2010, even though he is not ready to retire indefinitely from baseball,” said Fernando Cuza, his agent, in a telephone conversation.

There have been several offers on the table for Martinez, but apparently none of them were enough to motivate him to pitch again.

“This doesn’t mean that Pedro is announcing his retirement from baseball because it’s possible that he will change his mind for next year,” said Cuza. “But today he asked me to call all the teams that were interested to announce his decision.”

“Pedro is grateful for the interest shown by some clubs, but at this point he decided to put his family before baseball,” Cuza said. “Later on, he’ll decide when he will say his final goodbye.”

The Phillies were one of the clubs interested in Martinez.

We heard last month that Martinez would need to be “really motivated” to pitch this season – meaning that any team that would want him would have to pay more than the $1 million he earned with the Phillies last year for six weeks of work. Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe said Pedro already has “one foot under the mango tree.”
