Starting Pitcher: Pedro likes the Mets

by Matthew Cerrone on January 9th, 2009 at 8:41 am

In an exclusive interview with the New York Post, Pedro Martinez said he’s open to pitching for any team, ‘but the Mets are far and away his first choice.’

According to Ken Davidoff in Newsday, signing Martinez to a low base salary with incentives is still an option.

“I went over to the Mets with something in mind, to win a World Series in the National League, and I haven’t achieved that,” Martinez tells the Post.

Martinez also talks to the Post about 2008, set backs, and Derek Lowe, who he played with in Boston.

Yesterday, the New York Post said Omar Minaya is expected to speak with Martinez’s agent next week.
