Pedro next week...

It was reported last night on MLB network during the Hot Stove show that Pedro Martinez had turned down an offer from an American league team which would have been worth 7-8M for the year. Apparently Pedro prefers to remain in the National league and there is believed to be interest from two teams. It's been said that Pedro was disappointed with his performance over the last two years and was willing to take a discount in a return to the Mets for a chance to vindicate himself. The NY Post is reporting that the Mets will discuss such a contract with Pedro's agent next week...

Meanwhile, Martinez's agent, Fern Cuza, is expected to speak with Minaya next week. The right-hander could be open to an incentive-heavy, one-year contract to return to the Mets. source NY Post
