> Sorry to hear Pedro’s father is ill. Taht’s a terrible situation for anyone to deal with.
As he told the Daily news: “It’s taking a toll on me and my family, my dad’s situation,” Martinez told the Daily News. “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.”
From a baseball standpoint – well there’s that pace of 3.5 wins per year (since June 2006) that we’ll miss.
