Astros Close to Signing Pedro Martinez


Recommended Posts

Houston Astros are close to signing Pedro Martinez. A press conference has been announced for Wednesday morning at 8:45 CT in Kissimmee, FL. Martinez pitched for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic earlier this month and worked three scoreless innings in relief against The Netherlands. Martinez has a 214-99 lifetime record in 17 seasons.

Houston Chronicle is now reporting that the Pedro deal is not gonna happen. A reporter for the chronicle talked to owner Drayton McLane and McLane says that he is not selling the team or firing, hiring, or signing anyone. The press conference also has nothing to do with steroids. I believe someone leaked out information and now the Astros are trying to cover their tails up. Also, McLane says he's very confident about this news conference.

I'd like to know how this rumor got started. I know some web site I never even heard of reported it but where are they getting their info?? That would be a huge lift for this pitching staff.

The first person I heard mention anything about was Carl Dukes on 97.5, he challenged Drayton to sign Pedro and 2 days later he was saying the Stros were close to sealing the deal. I think that was Monday and Wednesday.

    • What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "
