Dustin the Money
The Red Sox took Dustin Pedroia out of future arbitration and free agency today:
It's being reported that Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia has signed a six-year deal worth $40.5 million.
That's three years of arbitration plus two years of free agency. On top of that, the Red Sox have an $11 million option for 2015, potentially making this a seven-year deal. They've locked up an MVP through his prime at a very low cost. Pedroia hasn't even peaked yet. A great deal for Boston.
