Beantown 9 Poised for Repeat Season! Sox Re-sign Schilling!

Boston.com reported that the Boston Red Sox have re-signed Curt Schilling

On the wire:

The Red Sox and Curt Schilling have reached an agreement on a one-year deal worth about $8 million in base salary with an additional $2 million in potential incentives, according to a report by ESPN’s Buster Olney.

The report, which did not cite sources, indicated that the deal was pending Schilling passing a physical. Schilling, when reached today via e-mail, confirmed that he underwent an MRI today.

Additional reports are that the MRI went fine. Also, the big talk in Orlando at the Baseball conference is that Schill was willing to take less money and a shorter contract in order to make this deal happen. This has not been the trend over the past few years - both Pedro Martinez and Johnny Damon chose money over loyalty. And you see how they were rewarded.

It's not always the money.

Let's hope the Sox make a big deal out of this.

Earlier this week the Sox exercised options on Julian Tavarez and Tim Wakefield.

Alright Sox, time to get Mikey Lowell back at third. You can do it!! As Big Papi said on this very topic - "make it happen, Theo!"
