Manny Tells Pedro To Be Realistic With Asking Price
Oct 16, 2014 6:28 AM
Pedro Martinez is reaching out to prospective suitors, but finding little interest in his $5 million-plus asking price.
The Royals, before signing free-agent right-hander Sidney Ponson to a minor-league contract, rejected an overture from Martinez because they were unable to afford him, major-league sources say.
Several of Martinez's friends, including the Dodgers' Manny Ramirez, have told him that he needs to be more realistic with his salary desires, sources say.
The Dodgers would be interested in Martinez if he dropped his price dropped to the $1 million to $2 million level.
