Over at SI.com, Jon Heyman is reporting that the Cubs are actively scouting Pedro Martinez, citing National League sources.
The 37-year-old free agent has been throwing regularly, but is not believed to be close to making a decision regarding his return. Martinez is said to be looking for $5 million, a rather steep asking price, especially when paired with the question marks surrounding the Cubs' ownership situation.
