Jonathan Papelbon and the Sox came to terms on a one-year deal for $775,000, with an award bonus of $25,000 if he makes the All-Star team. Papelbon will be paid $225,000 more than Bobby Jenks, the White Sox closer who has almost the exact same service time as Papelbon.

Second-year player Dustin Pedroia came to terms on a $457,000 contract (minimum is $390,000 in 2008). Other notables signing include (Jon Lester $421,500), Manny Delcarmen ($421,000), Jacoby Ellsbury ($406,000), and Clay Buchholz ($396,000).

In all, 18 players came to terms today, with the Sox not having to renew anyone.

That's a lot of talent for short money.
