Pedro Waiting For Mets On Extension Talk

Marty Noble at MLB.com writes about Pedro Martinez and how he won't bring up extension talks with the Mets:

Though pleased by how he has been treated by the Mets and clearly intent on extending his career beyond this season, Pedro Martinez will not approach the team about a contract beyond 2008 -- though he would be willing to discuss the matter if the club broached the topic.

Martinez said as much on Tuesday morning after returning to camp following an excused absence after going to Miami on Monday for medical tests. He didn't specify the reason for the tests, though he did say that the results were negative. He is ready to resume his personal workout schedule, which, he said, is to have him ready to make his exhibition-game debut on March 6.
