Red Sox sign Bobby Jenks

Jenks signs with Red Sox

ESPN's Buster Olney reports that the Red Sox have signed Bobby Jenks to a two-year, $12 million deal.

Could this be the first domino to fall? The Sox would love to move Jonathan Papelbon's contract, and they have Daniel Bard and now it appear Jenks ready to handle the late innings. Either way, Jenks is likely to fill a setup role with the Red Sox, so this certainly hurts his keeper league value. Jenks posted a 4.44 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 10.4 K/9 rate in 2010 with the White Sox.

How did Tubby score 6 million per season after his performance last year? He is not even going to fill a closer role.

He sucks, let him blow some 3 run leads for them!!

Bobby was one of favorites. I wish him well in Boston except against the White Sox.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

I wanted to see Bobby keep pitching like he did against Seattle, just keep bringing the heat!!

Interesting move by BOS....Seems a bit pricey for Jenks.

Maybe just a tad...

He's declined every year now.. I'm glad hes gone. I think Freddy throws harder then big ol' Jenks now.

I hope Bobby pitches lights out for them and then faces us in the playoffs. We could use a cheap win or two off of him.

Jenks, Bard & Papelbon? (no order)

Boston's perspective.

Jenks only adds to an embarrassment of riches - The Tony Massarotti Sports Blog, featuring Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots and Celtics analysis
