“I think the Mets are a possibility. They know him better than most,” said Pedro Martinez‘ agent Fern Cuza while speaking to SI.com about Pedro’s chances of returning to the Mets next season. But in the same report by Jon Heyman Pedro’s agent also said:
…multiple teams already have checked in about the Hall-of-Fame-bound righthander.
Cruz also added that the things that troubled Pedro last season, the death of his father and his injuries are behind him:
“He’s definitely coming back,” Cuza said. “He’s got all the baggage behind him. He’s ready to go get it. It’ll be fun to see the old Pedro again.”
Like I wrote in a post last week I hope to see Pedro back in a Mets uniform next season. Pedro is a prideful athlete and I think he would retire if he had nothing left. The Mets
invested a lot in him and it would hurt to see him pitching elsewhere next season. I think he’s worth a shot. Expectations would not be high and he may surprise some.
