The Boston Red Sox reached an agreement Thursday with free-agent pitcher Justin Masterson, sources told ESPN's Buster Olney.And somewhere Joe Castiglione is smiling and thinking to himself, "Cookies!"
The 28-year-old right-hander had a difficult 2014 campaign, struggling with a knee injury that landed him on the disabled list with the Cleveland Indians and later in the season was relegated to the bullpen by the St. Louis Cardinals, who acquired him in a trade-deadline move.
Castig loves those cookies, but he loves Masterson even more. Apparently he's the nicest guy in baseball.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have him back!
