According Cots Contracts and Baseball Prospectus, the Red Sox have four players signed to guaranteed deals next season: John Lackey, Jon Lester, Dustin Pedroia and Clay Buchholz. Combined, the four of them will make about $42 million. The four players traded to the Dodgers were set to make just over $60 million next year alone.
Here is a list of signed players, free agents and players eligible for arbitration this off-season.
Entering this season, if the Red Sox were to stand pat, they would have had $107,852,000 in contracts for the 2013 season before arbitration. That number now stands at $42 million. That’s a tremendous amount of savings that gives the Red Sox a tremendous amount of financial flexibility in the near future.
It’s hard to project what exactly the Red Sox roster will look like next season, especially because of all the new found spending money the team has, but since the future now is the focus, it’s not too early to start to look at it.
