Red Sox Give Josh Beckett A Four-Year Contract Extension

For most teams, starting pitching is the top item on the shopping list every winter. The Red Sox hope to be stocked for years to come.

“You can’t have an elite organization without starting pitching,” general manager Theo Epstein said after signing Josh Beckett to a four-year, $68 million contract extension Monday. “And for us, there’s the added expectation of having starting pitchers who can succeed in the AL East. It’s hard to acquire. It’s hard to draft and develop.”

Now that Beckett, who turns 30 on May 15, is signed through 2014, the Red Sox have signed or control their top four starting pitchers, including John Lackey, Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz, through 2014.

“I guess I look at things differently that most people,” said Beckett, who made the deal possible by not insisting on a fifth year. “A lot of people look at what they lost, or what they didn’t get. I’m looking at what I gained here — four more years of stability, four more years with an organization that you know is going to put a competitive team on the field. That can’t be underestimated. A season gets long when you’re losing 90 games.”

Fire up the hot stove for another winter

RED SOX general manager Theo Epstein has no worries about the right side of the field. He knows who his right fielder will be next season. He knows who his second baseman will be next season. He knows, barring a dramatic trade for San Diego’s Adrian Gonzalez, who his first baseman will be next season.

He even knows who his catcher and backup catcher will be now that he’s picked up his option on Victor Martinez and Jason Varitek has exercised his own option to return.

But the entire left side of the field remains in flux. Shortstop Alex Gonzalez is gone, at least temporarily, and no one knows how far apart the Red Sox are from left fielder Jason Bay in their negotiations. On top of that, Mike Lowell isn’t getting any younger and might be the poster child for the dramatic home-road splits that Epstein blamed for his team’s early exit in the playoffs.

It’s been a busy start to the offseason for the Red Sox, and the fun has barely begun.

This time, Sox’ party a private affair

One by dripping one, the playoff-bound Red Sox emerged from their clubhouse early this morning.

Standing in slippers, wearing “2009 AL Wild Card Champions’’ hats, grinning like rock stars, reeking of cigar smoke and dripping a trail of beer and bubbly onto the concrete concourse outside their sanctum, Mike Lowell, Dustin Pedroia, Jason Bay and Tim Wakefield shared their thoughts on going back to the playoffs.

“We play from the first day of the season, this is our goal,’’ said Lowell. “We’d rather do it on the field in front of the fans but we don’t care how it comes. Hopefully this is just step one.’’

Green’s health brings back Woodward

Twice this season, Chris Woodward thought his time with the Red Sox had ended. On Aug. 15, the same day Boston reacquired Alex Gonzalez, Woodward was designated for assignment. And just last week, with the club needing a roster spot for Daisuke Matsuzaka, Woodward was outrighted to Triple-A Pawtucket. This, even though the Minor League season was over.

But there Woodward was again on Monday, embarking on his third roster stint with the Red Sox. The reason Woodward was needed is that utility infielder Nick Green’s health is very much in question.

Green last played for the Red Sox on Wednesday, the night he worked a dramatic game-tying walk in the bottom of the ninth inning of a comeback win over the Angels. As it turns out, Green could barely stand during that at-bat, as his right leg had a “dead leg” type of feeling.

Sox focused on journey, not destination

If any team appreciates the beauty of the Wild Card, it’s the Red Sox.


History shows that Boston took full advantage of the American League’s fourth and final playoff spot back in 2004, when it captured its first World Series title in 86 years. The Red Sox have used the Wild Card entry to reach the postseason a Major League-high six times since 1998, and are in line to do so once again this year.

After taking the first two bouts of their three-game set against the Angels, the Sox enter Thursday’s series finale at Fenway Park 6 1/2 games ahead of the fading Rangers in the AL Wild Card standings. But make no mistake, they aren’t ready to don their Wild Card championship hats and T-shirts just yet.

Dice-K’s back, but which version?

When Daisuke Matsuzaka steps on the mound at Fenway Park on Tuesday night to kick off a three-game series against a probable postseason opponent — the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim — he will formally end an 87-day sabbatical from the Boston Red Sox’s pitching rotation.


So, yes, “Welcome back, Dice-K” will indeed be the theme for the opener of a particularly enticing late-season series. But just who are the Red Sox and their fans welcoming back?

Is this the return of the pitcher who was so great during his years in Japan that the Red Sox blew away the competition with a blind bid of $51.1 million and invested an overall sum of $103.1 million in the righty?

Sox gear up for possible playoff preview

For the third consecutive year, the Red Sox appear poised to reach the postseason. And for the third consecutive year, they appear to be on a collision course with the Angels.

The teams have met in the American League Division Series each of the past two seasons, with Boston prevailing both times, and would be a playoff pair once again this October had the regular season ended Sunday.

Until then, they’ll have to settle for a mid-September showdown at Fenway Park that kicks off on Tuesday night, when Daisuke Matsuzaka makes his long-awaited return from the disabled list opposite John Lackey.

Youkilis nominated for Clemente Award

Even as he has emerged as one of the best all-around players in baseball over the last couple of seasons, Kevin Youkilis has been equally consumed with an art that has nothing to do with coming up with a clutch hit or making a diving stop in the field.


The man known throughout New England simply as “Youuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkk” spends much of what could be his down time making a difference for kids in need.

His acts of kindness have not gone unnoticed, as, for the second successive year, the Red Sox have nominated Youkilis as their candidate for the Roberto Clemente Award.

In debut, Billy Wagner fans side in 8th

If that’s what Billy Wagner looks like 10 months after elbow surgery, it’s no wonder the National League didn’t mind seeing him go.

Wagner made his Red Sox [team stats] debut one to remember yesterday, striking out the side in the eighth inning by mixing his trademark 95 mph fastball with a devastating slider that undoubtedly had the rest of the American League saying, “Are you serious?”

Facing the heart of the Blue Jays order, Wagner struck out Aaron Hill and Vernon Wells on nasty sliders, and blew away Lyle Overbay with a 94 mph heater. He also allowed a double to Adam Lind, though it hardly detracted from the performance.
