Red Sox Re-Sign Beckett

The Boston Red Sox and Josh Beckett agreed on a four-year $68 million deal earlier this week. This move locks up one of their aces through 2014. Had Beckett reached free agency I think he would have gotten a deal similar to what John Lackey got, which was 5 year $82 million. So I think [...]
