"The New York Mets don't have any interest in bringing back Pedro Martinez. But another one of Martinez's former employers, the Los Angeles Dodgers, could emerge as a candidate to rescue him from unemployment (ESPN)."
Pedro should have retired 2-3 years ago, but he did show me enough during the WBC that I think he is better then a lot of the 5th starters in the MLB. The Dodgers have a weak pitching staff, and I actually think this is a good move for them. Pedro will be cheap, and who knows maybe he can provide a spark on their team. Anyways, Torre seems interested...
"Although Torre watched Martinez in the WBC only in passing, he saw enough to believe that Martinez can still help a club. Martinez threw 58 strikes and only 17 balls in his two appearances against the Netherlands."Just from the little I've seen of him pitching, he may not have the velocity he once had,'' Torre said. "But he certainly has the know-how, and I think he's throwing hard enough to keep hitters off-balance (ESPN)."
I will always love Pedro, and if he wants to play I hope he can find a job on a team that actually has a chance to win some games.
