The Red Sox are in Fort Myers and workouts have begun. With games on the schedule for the end of the week, business is picking up. One person that is getting some attention in spring training isn’t even a current player. Former Red Sox star Pedro Martinez has made his way to Florida and is taking on a mentor role with the club.
Pedro has more than earned his spot in spring training. No, he won’t be vying for a roster spot but what he does offer is far more important than innings pitched. Pedro has become a mentor to many of the younger guys on the roster and has been seen repeatedly giving coaching advice to the pitchers.
