"The Red Sox chopped into their long list of unsigned players yesterday when catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia agreed to a one-year deal worth $2.5 million.
Saltalamacchia hit .235 last season with 16 home runs and 56 RBIs. He ranked third among American League catchers with a .452 slugging percentage and fourth with a .741 OPS. He also threw out 28 runners attempting to steal, the most for a Sox catcher since 2002."
