Red Sox Magic Number - 45

The Red Sox magic number is now 45. The number 45 also happens to be the uniform number of Pedro Martinez.

Pedro Martinez will probably be back pitching for the Mets in a couple of weeks. I really wanted Pedro to finish his career with the Red Sox but I also understood the logic of not offering a 4th year in the contract. This is Pedro's 3rd year with the Mets but a good portion of that time has been spent on the DL. The Mets signed Pedro to a 4-year $53 million contract.
