NY Boston Fan

According to hardballtimes.com:

According to NY Newsday, the Yankees have offered free agent P Pedro Martinez a 3 year contract, for approximately $38 million. According to the Boston Globe, the Redsox countered that by increasing their offer.

According to the Bergen Record, the Yankees have offered Martinez 4 years, $50 million. According to NY Newsday, there's no truth to the $50 million rumor.

According to the Boston Herald, the Mets are expected to join the Martinez sweepstakes.

Compared to the reported offer of 2 years, $27.5 million, that suggests that the Yankees think Pedro is worth $10.5m three years from now. Seems a little steep. But because it is Pedro, I'd stop at 3 years, $39 million, and move on if someone is willing to overpay beyond that.

My fiancee and I are in agreement here about Pedro and the Yankees. She says "we don't want him," and I say "we don't want you to have him!"
