Papelbon, Red Sox agree to one-year contract

Jonathan Papelbon agreed to a one-year $755,000 contract with the Red Sox today.

Though not quite the $900,000 he wanted, it’s a huge jump over what he would have earned had his contract simply been renewed.

Hopefully Papelbon will see this as a good faith effort by the Red Sox to make amends before the two sides go head to head in arbitration next year.

With all the contract nastiness out of the way, maybe we can all just enjoy baseball for a little while. 

$755k is not a terrible living!
