From Dirt Dogs:

BREAKING NEWS EXCLUSIVE: According to a Boston Dirt Dogs source, Pedro Martinez was picked up at Tampa International Airport this morning at 10:00AM by a Yankee official and is meeting with George Steinbrenner now at the Yankees complex. Pedro will be having lunch with the Boss, possibly at Malios Steakhouse, and touring the facilities at Legends Field in Tampa all afternoon. Stay tuned for further developments

Pedro better be serious cause I don't think the Sox are going to up their offer much if at all.

Took the words right out of my mouth. It better not just be a ploy to get Boston to pay up, because I think they should (and probably will) let him walk if he doesn't take what's on the table right now.

This is just Pedro being Pedro IMO...he'll be with Boston if he has any common sense whatsoever. That offer is incredible considering the poor season he had.

Agreed on all points.

If he wants to play games, let him walk and sign with NY. Then the Sox should sign Pavano and do what it takes to get Hudson or Zito (preferably Hudson).

Pedro won't be coming to NY, at least he had better not :-[

All Yankee fans keep saying that, but if he's in pinstripes next year and takes you to the promised land again I imagine most will be changing their tune. ;-7

I'm in agreeance with you here. Pedro will help a club win ball games, without a doubt. What club he'll help is another matter.

Steinbrenner adores Pedro. Chances are he'll have him all neat and tidy and emotionless by Opening Day.

I don't want Pedro. Send him somewhere else. But obviously if he came here I'd have to root for him.
