Youk and Sox Avoid Arbitration

Theo and the Red Sox have once again avoided going to arbitration with one of their players. Today Boston agreed to a one year $3 million contract with Kevin Youkilis. Youk wanted 3.7 and the Sox offered 2.5 before they agreed at $3 million. Youkilis will be getting a big raise considering he only made $425,000 last season.
