Doug Mirabelli Will Be Back

According to the Boston Herald the Red Sox are close to signing Doug Mirabelli for a one year contract. This will give Boston a backup catcher for next year and allows Wake to have someone who can catch the knuckle ball. Mirabelli is not a long term solution behind the dish but the Sox are doing the right thing by bringing him back. The deal is said to be for around $550,000 with incentive that could bring it up to $1 million for the year.
