"Pedro Martinez says his agent is negotiating with the Philadelphia Phillies, trying to get the pitcher back into the major leagues. Martinez said the Phillies have been scouting him in his native Dominican Republic. "The Phillies saw me this past Tuesday in a simulated game and I felt very good with my fastball and all my pitches," Martinez said Thursday (ESPN)."
The deal is not done, so anything can happen, but the Phillies really need some pitching, and if they liked what they saw, then this should be completed by the end of the month. The Phillies have asked to see him pitch 1 more time just to make sure he can recover on normal rest. I don't think Pedro has much left, but when you look at some of the 5th starters in the MLB Pedro would be one of the best. Just something to keep an eye on....
