From CNN: Pedro Martinez and the Phillies have agreed to a deal on Tuesday and an announcement is expected on Wednesday, SI.com has learned.

The Phillies scouted Martinez twice recently and the right-hander passed a physical in Philadelphia on Tuesday, according to Yahoo! Sports. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that it is a one-year deal worth $1 million and includes $1.5 million in incentives.

Other teams interested in Martinez included the Diamondbacks, Indians, Pirates, Brewers, Cardinals, Cubs and Rays.

I can imagine every start featuring Pedro from here on out will be must-see-TV just to see how Philadelphia reacts...
