saito-emo-poseThe deep bullpen has just gotten a little bit deeper. Takashi Saito, who was drafted an offer earlier this week, has accepted and will join the Sox relief core.

The numbers are just a bit different than what we reported earlier. According to FOX Sports, his guaranteed money is between $1.5 mil and $2.5 mil. His total, if he reaches all of his incentives, will top $7 million. I don’t know what kind of incentives they gave him but that is a LOT of cash for a reliever. Wow.

    Haha, we’re building an army of multi-cultural pitchers! It’s ok, you guys can sign Mike Timlin if you’d like to.
