News just reported by foxsports.com: The Red Sox have reached an agreement for a year with Takashi Saito, major Japanese 38 year old veteran of three seasons with the Dodgers. Saito will guaranteed an overlap between 1.5 and 2.5 million dollars and will reach if all the incentives in the contract could rise to earn up to $ 7 million.
Saito in the three seasons in Los Angeles in the role of closer in the record of 11 wins and 7 losses, an ERA of 1.95 and 81 salvations. In the 2007 season completed 39 salvations, and missed much of the 2008 season with an injury to the elbow. The Dodgers have therefore opted not to offer him a contract for 2009 and then became a free agent. With Papelbon irremovable from the role of closer, Saito should go to fill the important role mid-end of the race.
