Quotes by Pedro Martinez

I am going to leave my heart out there for my team.

I wasn't playing mind games with anybody, I just said what I said. I am responsible for it, but I wish everybody would fall asleep for that one and let me go out there and do my thing.

I'm open to play for anybody that would give me respect, treat me the right way, and actually going to make me feel comfortable.
