No Renewal
The Red Sox reached an agreement with Jonathan Papelbon, rather than renewing him for the minimum raise:
The Boston Red Sox and closer Jonathan Papelbon agreed Thursday to a $775,000, one-year contract, nearly doubling his salary.
That's the way it should be. Papelbon is a star for the Red Sox, and it's always good to keep your stars happy.
The Baseball Musings pledge drive continues through March. Please consider making a donation.
