After reading Sean McAdam this morning, I was very happy to see that the Red Sox were reported to be offering Mike a one-year deal "worth about $3 million". So imagine my absolute joy at then reading what Gordon Edes (and Amalie Benjamin?) wrote. Apparently:
With a deadline of midnight tonight for offering salary arbitration to their free agents, one club official said last night that the Sox had reached terms with reliever Mike Timlin on a deal to bring back the righthander for an 18th season in the big leagues, sixth with the Sox. The Sox are believed to have offered Timlin, who turns 42 March 10, around $3 million, a raise of around $300,000 from his 2007 salary.
So, if these reports are true, not only is Theo bringing Timlin back for his 18th season in the majors – but he’s giving him a raise! Way to go, Theo!
This is a heck of a way to start my weekend!
