Bartolo Colon Signs With Red Sox

TUESDAY: The Boston Herald has the contract details.  Colon gets $1.25MM if he's in the bigs, and the deal can reach $7MM if he makes 30 starts.

SUNDAY: According to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick, the Red Sox have signed starter Bartolo Colon to a minor league deal.  The deal has no guaranteed money.  That's a far cry from the guaranteed two-year big league deal Colon wanted at the beginning of the offseason.

Colon will add depth to Boston's rotation, and you certainly have to like the move for the Red Sox.  Maybe Colon was motivated by a chance to win or a good medical staff, because Boston seems a poor place to find innings if he's mediocre or worse.
