Baldelli signs with Boston

The Boston Red Sox signed outfielder Rocco Baldelli Thursday to a one-year contract. It is worth a base of $500,000 but with incentives could reach as much as $6 million.

The Pirates were in on Baldelli until the end but, like so many other free-agent acquisition attempts, it failed.

Besides being a much better team, it also helped the Red Sox that Baldelli is a Rhode Island native.
