SoSHer glennhoffmania, 12/31: This is surprising. I'm friends with his agent and he said he didn't expect him to be back this year.
SoSHer glennhoffmania, 1/1: Here are some details from my buddy. He asked me to keep a couple of things confidential but for the most part this is how the deal unfolded: "We had other offers with more money but he wanted to come back. Pittsburgh, if you can believe it, offered the most money but he just didn't want to go there. His family is here and I worked out a deal where he will be a free agent after the season even though he will only have 5 years service time. All the reports saying he will be competing for a spot with Doubront, Miller, etc are a joke. I got him a guaranteed contract with incentives." Also, he picked the Sox over the Yankees.
happy new year

Yep, I'm going with 157-5 in the contest.
