Jonathan Papelbon has agreed to a $50 million dollar, 4 year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. That’s the largest amount ever for a reliever.
Papelbon, who turns 31 on Nov. 23, had 219 saves over seven seasons with the Red Sox, including 31 this year, when he made $12 million. He will replace Ryan Madson, who also is a free agent.
It looks like Daniel Bard will be handed the closing role for Boston this upcoming season.
I’m soooooooooooo sad and Bard Sucks…. =X

Won’t Jenks be available next season? I still don’t have full confidence in Bard as a closer. (I don’t have confidence in Jenks either, but oh well, hopefully he can return to form.)
