It’s Official: Jamie Kotsay Back For Another Year
January 16, 2009 by Mike
From Boston Herald:
Rounding out their bench for the upcoming season, the Red Sox re-signed Mark Kotsay yesterday to a one-year, $1.5 million deal with incentives.
Kotsay, whom the Sox first obtained from Atlanta in August, had hoped to find a full-time job elsewhere, but the glut of outfielders on the free agent market, coupled with the economic downturn that has hit the game, saw his asking price drop.
The 33-year-old Kotsay hit .226 with 12 RBI in 22 games for the Sox during the regular season. In the postseason, with Mike Lowell sidelined with an injury and Kevin Youkilis moved to third base, Kotsay became the team’s everyday first baseman, hitting .250 in 10 games.
