Sox Offer Pedro 25.5 Million Dollar Two Year Deal
![](http://espn-i.starwave.com/media/mlb/2001/0907/photo/r_pedro_i.jpg)
With a 13 million dollar option for the third year. Will Pedro take it, probably not. The problem is that Pedro thinks he is one of the best (if not the best) pitchers in the majors, and he clearly is not. After a complete season with Pedro not going on the DL (the first time in a long time that has happened), his stats are final and there is no excuses for them. He is what he is. He is not getting any better, and your guess is as good as mine if you think he is going to get worse. What are his stats?
