The Red Sox and closer Jonathan Papelbon have agreed to a one-year deal worth $775,000.
That's more than closer Bobby Jenks got with a similar amount of service time, as he signed a $550,000 contract. Papelbon was looking for a deal in the range of $900,000, like the one signed by Ryan Howard at the same point in his career. He didn't quite get that, but he got a significant bump over his $425,550 salary from last season.
If the Sox and Papelbon hadn't reached this agreement, the Red Sox would have had the option of renewing his contract for an arbitrary figure. |

| Thats a thing I hate about Major League Baseball.... Players have amazing seasons as relative rookies and teams won't reward them for it until they are old and not worth the money. |

Thats what I am railing about. Old fucks who can't pitch to save their life are getting 13million a season while young pitching studs like Pap, Liriano etc get paid squat. |
