MLB 2009-2010 Off Season Thread

From what I read the two year deal only guarantees him 5M over the two years instead of the 8 he would have got. $3.5 next year and $1.5M in 2011 with incentives that could push it to 7M over the two years. I guess they wanted to save a little money in case he gets injured.

Red Sox are lucky Wakefield really loves it there though. Does seem a little strange to get cheap on a couple million when the guy has seemingly played for below his market value his whole career with the Sox.
