Youk/Sox agree to terms
Continuing their tradition of not going to arbitration with players in the Theo Epstein era, the Red Sox have agreed to terms with first baseman Kevin Youkilis. He'll make $3 million dollars this season on a one-year deal.
Youkilis had come in far from the number offered by the team. He asked for $3.7 million, while the team offered $2.525 million. Last season the Red Sox ended up renewing his contract at $424,500.
Relievers Kyle Snyder and Javier Lopez were the other Sox players who were eligible for arbitration this offseason. Lopez signed for $840,000. Snyder exchanged numbers with the Sox before signing a one-year contract for $835,000.
