Pedro Martinez Unlikely For Orioles

Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun talked to Orioles president Andy MacPhail, who admitted the team had internal discussions about free agent starter Pedro Martinez.  However, Schmuck learned that the O’s are unlikely to sign Martinez and have not been in contact with his agent.  Martinez didn’t drum up much interest this winter, and he’s hoping a fine WBC showing will improve his stock.  Today in the Dominican Republic’s 3-2 upset loss to the Netherlands, Pedro tossed three scoreless innings with four strikeouts.
