Pedro Martinez, the three-time Cy Young award winner, will be donning a Mets uniform for the 2005 Major League season. The four-year deal involves as much as US$56 million and is being described as the biggest free-agent signing in Mets history. News reports indicate that there were no surprises during the team’s medical staff examination of Martinez at the Hospital for Special Surgery on the Upper East Side of New York City. There had been particular concern for the pitcher’s partially torn labrum in his right shoulder.
