Crazy Mets GM Makes Outrageous Offer to Over-The-Hill Prima Donna.

That's odd.

When George Steinbrenner meets with Pedro Martinez, Pedro Martinez is a washed-up worn-out five-inning pitcher who's a head case.

When Omar Minaya meets with Pedro Martinez, Pedro Martinez is transmogrified into a three-time Cy Young Award winner world champion with marquee panache.

Now, when Alex Rodriguez meets with Pedro Martinez, Mike Lupica is outraged, naturally:

"We find out now that Alex Rodriguez was recruiting Pedro Martinez in Miami not long ago and I guess my question goes something like this:

Who asked him?"


Who asked Alex Rodriguez to meet with Pedro Martinez? My guess would be Brian Cashman, Joe Torre, or George Steinbrenner. Or perhaps he met with Pedro without being asked, hoping to recruit him for his team.

Who does Alex Rodriguez think he is? A True Yankee? How dare he try to recruit players for Mike Lupica's team.
