"Well truthfully, it happened fast. As a reliever, and being older, sometimes you're on the back burner for most of these teams. About two weeks ago my agent called and said, 'Here's kind of where we stand, where you're going to fit as far as salary, teams that are going to need left-handed relievers.'... We'd been talking to Boston, and then it kind of escalated very quickly when I said, 'let's explore it more', and then, one thing after another, it's done."
"The contract I signed with Boston is kind of what I figured I'd land in ... So, when they make an offer and I feel like it's good enough, me personally I don't feel like you go test the market at that point. It's a good thing to be wanted and I was grateful for the offer and happy with it, so why not move forward?"
