Pedro deal appears done

Pedro Martinez will most likely don red pinstripes Wednesday afternoon.

Several minutes after Phils GM Ruben Amaro Jr. told reporters news would likely come Wednesday morning, Yahoo may have broke Amaro to the story.

Gordon Edes of Yahoo, a former longtime Red Sox writer for the Boston Globe, reported two hours before the All-Star Game that Pedro Martinez had passed his physical and would be introduced as a member of the Phillies in a pres conference tomorrow.

The Phils have not confirmed or denied the report.

"We're waiting for the (medical) report," Amaro told reporters shortly before Edes sent the news through the world wide web. "And then we'll have news for you."

Martinez was in Philly today for a physical with team physician Dr. Michael Ciccotti. He'll likely be staying in Philly for the duration of the 2009 baseball season.

More from Amaro on how a possible deal affects the Phils heading up to the trade deadline in tomorrow's Daily Times.
