Peter Gammons is reporting that the sox have signed Sean Casey to 1 year $700,000 deal. If Gammons is saying it, it must be true. Thanks to OTMer drabidea for reporting it first.

I'm sure Randy, Allen, or SoxDevil will have more later.

Update [2008-2-1 14:50:46 by Randy Booth]: Boston Globe has the story. Gordon Edes reports it's a one year deal for $800,000.

Let's stand up and clap for Theo and crew. This is a great signing in my opinion. Casey is going to be great for the clubhouse, his defense is solid and his contract is cheap. This is a fantastic signing by the Sox.

Note: Sorry about the look of the game thread, I wasn't expecting to be the one putting it up.

GO SOX!!!!!
