 Napoli. 32, receives a significant raise over a one-year, $5
million deal that he signed when he joined the Red Sox.
After originally agreeing to a three-year, $39 million deal with the
Red Sox during the offseason last year, the contract was amended
when a degenerative hip condition was found during a physical.
To make room on the 40-man roster, the Red Sox designated outfielder
Alex Castellanos for assignment.
___ The Colorado Rockies agreed to a three-year, $16.5 million deal with
left-handed relief pitcher Boone Logan, multiple media outlets
reported.
Logan, 29, was 5-2 with a 3.23 ERA over 39 innings with the New York
Yankees this past season. Over his eight-year career, he is 24-12
with a 4.39 ERA with the Chicago White Sox (2006-08), Atlanta Braves
(2009) and Yankees (2010-13).
