Baseball Rumor News

According to MLB.com, Pedro Martinez may be calling it a career at the end of the season. Martinez is nearing a return from the DL, but his physical condition is not the reason he is considering stepping away from the game. The failing health of his father could prompt him to focus on family matters rather than baseball.

“It’s taking a toll on me and my family, my dad’s situation. I haven’t been there for them. I just realized that between last year and this year I haven’t been there for my family, my parents. That’ll probably drag me away from the game a little sooner than people expect. After this season, I’m going to go back home and think about it and I’m going to decide.”
