The Sox have agreed to terms with 22-year-old Cuban catcher Adalberto Ibarra on a major league deal that, according to reports, is worth $4.3 million over five years. He will reportedly be placed on the team's 40-man roster once the contract becomes official.
The move is significant because Ibarra becomes Boston's only catcher under contract for 2011 and beyond. According to the Boston Herald, the 5'9'' 200 pound Ibarra, who defected from Cuba last year, will report to the Red Sox's minor league complex in Fort Myers, Fla., where it will be determined which minor league team he will report to.
Thank you Fidel Castro for driving your good baseball players to America and the Sox!
