May Day For Red Sox Nation: Pedro To Test Free Agency

Negotiations between Pedro Martinez and the Red Sox have broken down, and the Hall of Fame-bound pitcher has announced he will file for free agency. Negotiating ploy? Perhaps. But a very cutthroat one:
But he made clear he was irked by the team, in his view, misleading the public about the degree of its commitment to signing him, and playing "dirty" by unfairly raising questions about the condition of his shoulder.

... He said the team never made solid final offers to him or the other free agents. Nor, he said, would they entertain offers from him.

Amazing. It's certainly possible that Pedro's shoulder has started to decline. And he's famous for last year's gaffe prompting Grady Little to keep him in the deciding ALCS Game 7 only to give up the winning runs. Is his time over? Or is this a repeat of Roger Clemens?
