NickKBTV Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickKBTV Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayton Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Also, McLane says he's very confident about this news conference. ??? Boone announced he would miss the season because of a heart condition. I hope there is another announcement to come.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoesBros Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 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.

Guest Orangeboy Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
