Red Sox, LHP reach deal

Joely Rodriguez agreed to a 2 million, one-year contract with the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday, a deal that includes a team option for 2024. Rodriguez gets a $1.5 million salary next year, and the Red Sox option is for $4.25 million with a $500,000 buyout. Rodriguez’s contract allows him to become a free agent when the deal expires. The 31-year-old left-hander was 2-4 with a 4.47 ERA last season for the New York Mets, striking out 57 and walking 26 in 501/3 innings while allowing three home runs.
