The Red Sox announced their extension with Adrian Gonzalez today, less than a
week after locking Clay Buchholz up to a long-term deal of his own. The Red
Sox will see at least six players hit free agency after the season, while
others are under team control for many years to come. Here's a look how long
the Red Sox have their current 25-man roster under team control:
Through 2011: J.D. Drew, David Ortiz, Mike Cameron, Jonathan Papelbon, Tim
Wakefield, Jason Varitek
Through 2012: Bobby Jenks, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Marco Scutaro (option), Dan
Wheeler (club option)
Through 2013: Kevin Youkilis, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Jacoby Ellsbury, Matt
Albers (currently on DL)
Through 2014: Josh Beckett, Jon Lester (club option), John Lackey, Alfredo
Aceves, Jed Lowrie
Through 2015: Dustin Pedroia (club option), Daniel Bard, Darnell McDonald
Through 2016: Felix Doubront
Through 2017: Carl Crawford, Clay Buchholz (club option)
Through 2018: Adrian Gonzalez
Boston may cut ties with some of their arbitration eligible players before
they pick up six years of MLB service, but I've listed the current period of
team control. With their recent long-term deals, the Red Sox have extended
control over their core players. Drew, Ortiz and Papelbon are eligible for
free agency after the coming season and after that it appears that Youkilis
will be the next major contributor to hit the open market.
