The Associated Press confirms that Joel Pineiro and the Red Sox have agreed to a one-year, $4 million contract.
The $2 million in bonuses are based on games finished, which illustrates exactly how Pineiro is hoping to be used. An undisclosed player option is also included, which could make it a worse deal for Boston. Pineiro showed potential as a reliever last year and might find his niche if he's allowed to concentrate on throwing one inning a night. Still, this is quite a bit to pay for a guy who could do just about anything.
