The Boston Red Sox have signed Bartolo Colon to a minor league contract. If Colon makes the big league roster the Red Sox will pay him around $1 million dollars. Colon is a longshot to make the big league roster out of Spring Training, but he would more then likely be the first guy called up if they Red Sox need a spot starter, or someone to pitch because of injuries.
It is a pretty low gamble that the Red Sox were willing to take. I like the deal for them as Colon could help them out at some point during the season.
