Gone East

It's boy!

WEEI Radio is reporting a story that even they are a little suspicious of. The story is that the reason Pedro Martinez was permitted to be late reporting to Spring Training is that he has a son who is having a serious operation. This son, if he exists, was not previously publicly known about.

UPDATE: 12:15 PM ET -- WEEI is now reporting with more confidence that this story is true. No details yet on the name or age of the boy.
