Gonzalez Signs 7-Year Deal

It's only money. And it's not ours.

The Red Sox fulfilled their promise to Adrian Gonzalez by signing him to a 7-year, $154 million deal. Gonzo will be in a Red Sox uniform for a long time like the team's other new signee Carl Crawford.

The numbers stagger you as a common person, but it's fair market value when compared to other player signings. Maybe no one is worth $22 million a year. But that's the going rate for a superstar in baseball today.

I like Gonzo a lot. I'm glad he is in the fold.
