Posted September 8, 200321 yr his cousin was traded away. Any guesses???? According to a former teammate who knows him well, Pedro Martinez views the Marlins as his first choice should he become a free agent after next season. At least he did before they traded away his second cousin, Denny Bautista. Plus, there's the small matter of finding $15 million-plus to keep Pedro happy. ... http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/basebal...-sports-marlins O one more thing all you Gator fans can kill yourself now...
September 8, 200321 yr Yea, I read that. Very interesting. I wonder if Loria could manage an extra $15 Mill in special money.
September 8, 200321 yr He best start dealing drugs or something :lol His team IS in Miami afterall. It's possible... :shifty
September 8, 200321 yr The deal is stupid enough without the part where Pedro would be attracted to the Marlins, this just means the Orioles will make the AL East a 3 team race, and a great one at that. Just think about it. It'll be awesome. Imagine Pedro coming back to Fenway as an Oriole, now that's a game I wouldn't miss!

September 8, 200321 yr there's nothing that says Pedro now doesn't want to come here, Berardino's just assuming that, & being typically negative. Florida couldn't afford Pedro anyway, whether or not his freaking 4th cousin was here or not. The argument is moot.
September 8, 200321 yr Pedro is an over the hill, injury prone whiner who has never won a meaningful game in September. I feel sorry for the suckers who take him on for 15-18 mil.
September 8, 200321 yr Pedro: 25 GS, 11-4, 2.48 ERA, .223 BAA Pedro in September in the last 3 years: 10 GS, 6-3, 2.36 ERA, .191 BAA Pedro JUST won a meaningful game in September like 2 days ago in Yankee Stadium... If that's over the hill, I'll take it anyway...he's also only 31. He made 30 starts last year, he's gonna make 28-30 this year, that's healthy enough for me.
September 8, 200321 yr Why not relase Castillo & Pavano and sign Pedro ? Castillo and Pavano = $5mil Pedro= $15mil and why would you release Pavs or Castillo anyway?
September 8, 200321 yr Maybe Pedro would sign for less. He is filthy rich anways. What is the extra 10 million$? Loria shouldn't deal drugs, but deal art. Pedro and Pudge, and DTrain and Conine, would be box office madness!
September 8, 200321 yr I would rather us spend more money on player scouting and development. That way we can find the next Pedro and bring him up for 200K. But if we are going to spend the money, go get Vlad and put Conine at 1B. You could then trade Encarnacion and make Cabs the full time starter. Saves more money and our OF gets A LOT better. The Marlins have a lot of flexibility coming this offseason, which is what this FO set up to do after this last season.

September 8, 200321 yr Maybe Pedro would sign for less. He is filthy rich anways. What is the extra 10 million$? the extra 10 mil. for pedro is 5 or 6 more cars a couple more houses a couple rolex's just to name a few thing's he'll be able to do with an extra 10 mil. .....he's not gonna sign for 10 mil. less he's already rich like you said but he's gonna take the team who will offer him 10 mil. more. unless loria has some more "Special Money"
September 9, 200321 yr I feel sorry for the suckers who take him on for 15-18 mil. I feel sorry for the suckers that kept Greg Maddux for $16 Mill and let Kevin Millwood go for $10 Mill. :blink: :lol
September 9, 200321 yr Pedro's dream is to play for the New York Yankees. He was raised in New York, and his dream since a kid has been to play for the Yankees. So, after 2004, he will most likely be in a Yankee uniform.
September 9, 200321 yr I feel sorry for the suckers that kept Greg Maddux for $16 Mill and let Kevin Millwood go for $10 Mill. :blink: :lol you feel sorry for a team that ran away with the division?
