The Red Sox ace told the Boston Herald in yesterday's editions that he hopes to finish his career at Fenway. But if he doesn't receive an extension by April 5, he plans to test free agency after the season. And he's already got the Mets in mind as a possible destination.

"I've pitched well, really well, in New York all-time, in Shea Stadium," Martinez said, "so I always have that team in mind."

Martinez is absolutely right - lifetime, he's 5-1 with a 1.17 ERA in seven games at Shea.

Met GM Jim Duquette chuckled when told of Martinez's comments, but league tampering rules prohibited him from commenting.

Love to add him but rotation would be set...that means you would have to fill a spot with a guy you would likely count on not pitching for you....too iffy.

 

[NO LUCK]

As a disgruntled Mets fan I see nothing more than 10-15 wins above last year...(the way things are going)...This ownership seems to have forgotten the combo to the safe...

Matt: have just a little more patience, I believe that Duquette has a plan, let's see how it plays out......

the winter meetings are now here.......
