The Boston Red Sox have a vacancy on their coaching staff after they fired pitching coach Juan Nieves on Thursday.

Could Pedro Martinez be a candidate for the position?

Jessica Moran caught up Red Sox Hall of Fame pitcher to ask if he would be interested in joining the team in that capacity.

"They have never approached me with that mentality," said Martinez. "It's a job that does not come to my interest. I think being a pitching coach is a lot more than you guys know. Being a pitching coach is more than being a player, it's more than being on time, it's more than being at the field at 2:30 or maybe at 2.

"I don't think I would want to be in a field 162 games -- a little bit more -- like I did as a player. So I don't think it would be in my lines to do that. Even though I could help the team at any time they need me."
