Hello and welcome to another wacky edition of Big Sports News. Today we will go deep inside MLB side of the story. Finally, after so many NFL edition articles, I have finally found some pretty good news in the MLB. I have yet to make an NBA edition but it will come soon. But please enjoy the MLB news. Very interesting I might say, though.

World Baseball Classic - Puerto Rico Day 1

Pedro Martinez

A lot of teams are still interested in this 37-year-old pitcher. The Mets claim that Martinez is part of them, but I really don’t think so.

The Mets look to put Pedro at the fifth spot in the pitching rotation. But it might not happen. Martinez has spread interest in the teams that are deeply interested in him and are in need of a pitcher.

Not many teams spoke out about being interested in Pedro, but one did: the Pittsburgh Pirates.

They don’t know if they can sign him because of the money. MLB.com reported that Martinez wants a salary between $5-8 million, where the Pirates can not meet by that standard.

Martinez had only five wins and six losses with a 5.61 ERA.

MLB: FEB 27 Spring Training - Cardinals at Mets

Chris Duncan

The St. Louis Dispatch has reported that Cardinals' manager Tony La Russa is going to probably put Chris Duncan as a cleanup hitter, along with Ryan Ludwick and Rick Ankiel.

Duncan looks to be the most favorable choice, though.

“I think you’ve got three guys that have the kind of pop and potential danger to have those possibilities (of hitting cleanup),” La Russa said. “Play the season, and see how it materializes.”

With this, the Cardinals look to save super slugger, Albert Pujols, at the bat. Duncan has been the favorable man during Spring Training for the spot. Entering this weekend, Chris Duncan came out with a .353 batting average.

Let’s he how does. “I think Duncan is not afraid of anything,” La Russa said.
