Nov. 21: Gomes joins Sox outfield: Former rival Jonny Gomes, known to Sox fans for his June 2008 on-field brawl with Coco Crisp, signed a two-year, $10 million deal with Boston. While some fans were unsure why the Red Sox would give the platoon left fielder such a raise—he made $1 million in Oakland last season—others pointed to his good numbers against lefties and his positive clubhouse presence.
