The Red Sox and Jonathan Papelbon came to an agreement on a one-year, $6.25 million deal today, so arbitration will not be necessary. The two sides could not come to an agreement on a long-term deal. Papelbon will not becaome eligible for free agency until after the 2011 season.
Theo Epstein still has a perfect record as far as never having any Red Sox player go to arbitration.

A one year $6 million plus deal will be followed by a long term contract...where would we be without him? I don't even want to think about it!
The Red Sox have three years to get a long term deal with Papelbon done. Let's hope it becomes a reality.
