Last night Marty Noble reported that Pedro Martinez has received offers from various teams, but nothing of substance from the team he hopes to return to. When asked about the Mets, Pedro confirmed that he had met and spoken with Mets brass."We talked about a lot of things...there were questions about my health. I can tell you that they are interested in me. But in the end, there is nothing concrete...If possibilities (of re-signing) exist, we'll find them. What we need to do is find a halfway point between where they are and where we are."
A deal with Martinez is unlikely for the time being, especially with so much uncertainty in their #2 / 3 slot in the rotation.
Speaking of said rotation spot, earlier this week at Mack's Mets it was reported that a deal with Oliver Perez was to be completed this weekend. Now it is being reported by Joe DeMayo at NY Baseball Digest that if a deal doesn't get done by tomorrow, the team will be moving on to other options. All signs point to a deadline being in place, a very un-Omar like move. DeMayo's source goes on to say that he believes the deal will get done, because the organization loves the kid, and the kid loves them back.
