He said he won't extend his contract (which runs out at the end of this year) during the regular season. The day after he got beat up by the Rangers. He will test the free agency market after the season. It is too soon to mock him, last year he got killed by the Orioles early in the year so on May 1 his ERA was pretty high but he still had a 2.22 ERA.

Pedro always pisses me off. I remember him last year running his mouth about Carlos Delgado's weaknesses. He said he had two. One was the up and in pitch (I think that is what he said but it was something like that) and he said the other was something that only he and Carlos knew and said that he wouldnt tell anyone it because it wasnt fair to Carlos. The other thing that he did that pissed me off was he said that Karim Garcia had no right to complain about the pitch that hit him in the ALCS because he wasnt a proven allstar like Pedro. Somehow Pedro thought he had the right to throw at Karim because he isnt as good as Pedro and because Pedro was pissed off because he gave up a run. Now he wants a new contract from Boston and is refusing to negotiate with them because they havent made an offer that he likes yet. He has been roughed up a few times so far this year. All I have to say to Pedro is, Get a spine and put up and shut up. You are already being paid way more than you deserve, all athletes are, but atleast try and earn what you are making instead of complaining about how you deserve more.

Pedro is upset, because Boston has not made him any offer whatsoever. Pedro asked for 3 years/45 million, which in todays market is still over priced, IMO... but is 2 million less than he is making now, so I'm sure that Pedro looks at it as a big concession. Boston has declined that contract and, according to Pedro, made no counter offer at all.
So Pedro's complaint is that despite Boston's statements that they would like to sign him, they have not shown any indication that they plan to. Given that, I can understand why he is upset. However, I think this is something that should be kept out of the media.

Far be it for me to defend Pedro... but, from what I understand... Pedro is not whining about money.Pedro is upset, because Boston has not made him any offer whatsoever.

May 3 ESPN.com reports Boston Red Sox OF Manny Ramirez has offered to defer $5 million per year so that the team can re-sign SP Pedro Martinez. "How long is [Pedro] planning to stay, three years? I'll loan them a contract. Whatever they want. How much do they need? It's for Pedro," Ramirez told the Boston Herald. "I am serious, I want Pedro to stay. Pedro's the heart of the team. He's been here so long. I think it's going to be a sad moment to see him leave. That's why I said what I did. It's really no problem for me. Hey, how much money do I need?"

No, I dont want Pedro to be a Yankee. I have no respect for him. Also he is a liability. I still believe that Pedro is on the decline and that he is a shell of his former self. Pedro is also one arm injury from ending his career and he knows it. His shoulder is all messed up and is being held together by threads literally. He cant get the velocity that he used to have and knows that he cant reach back for it because he will damage his shoulder. He will end up pitching scared and you cant do that. Believe me you cant, Jose Contreras has and he has been hammered.And happy, no.
