“We wish Pedro nothing but the best going forward both on the field and off the field. He pitched with every ounce of his being for the Red Sox over the course of 216 games. Some of those performances were among the most memorable in Red Sox history. Who will ever forget the 1999 All-Star game? He has earned everything that he has accomplished, including his World Series ring and his reputation as one of the greatest who ever lived.”

“We wish Pedro nothing but the best going forward both on the field and off the field, ... He pitched with every ounce of his being for the Red Sox over the course of 216 games. Some of those performances were among the most memorable in Red Sox history. Who will ever forget the 1999 All-Star game? He has earned everything that he has accomplished, including his World Series ring and his reputation as one of the greatest who ever lived.”
“Pedro throws a lot like Livan (Hernandez). He'll throw off-speed on any pitch in the count. He pitched great. We couldn't do anything.”
Marcus Giles
“Pedro is hitting good pitches. He is a talented kid that if he gets strikes he is able to hit the ball pretty well.”
Tim Corbin
“Pedro just made some bad pitches. He elevated some, and the ball was carrying. It was very unusual for Pedro. He's human. You don't expect to see four home runs off anyone, especially not him.”
Willie Randolph
“The thing about Pedro is that even if he's a little bit gassed, he can make pitches for you, ... I had a feeling that against some of those young, inexperienced hitters, he'd be able to make a pitch, and he did.”
“I think that's what happened . . . he didn't have the feel for the ball. Pedro likes to pitch inside and hopefully he will have a better feel.”
