Pedro Martinez Will Not Pitch for the Mets in ‘09

The Post’s Bart Hubbuch writes,

Pedro Martinez is leaning toward pitching again next season, though it's highly doubtful he will do so with the Mets. Martinez's four-year, $53 million contract with the Mets expired this season, and the club appears unlikely to invest much in a pitcher one year removed from shoulder surgery who turns 37 next month. Martinez's teammates certainly sensed the end of his Mets career yesterday. At least a dozen of them stopped by his locker after the season-ending 4-2 loss to the Marlins, with a distraught Carlos Beltran even collapsing in tears on Martinez's shoulder for several minutes.


To which FanNation poster KGun91 quips,
Wasn't Pedro the one that said, “There's no crying in baseball.” Did he punch Beltra [sic] in the face?
