According to WEEI's Alex Speier, the Red Sox have agreed to a three-year deal with Shane Victorino.
It's worth $39 million, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Victorino had a number of other three-year offers and even one four-year proposal, but Boston gave him the best annual average salary and the chance to contend immediately. The 32-year-old is expected to start in right field. He batted .255/.321/.383 with 11 home runs, 55 RBI and 39 stolen bases in 154 games this past season between the Phillies and Dodgers.
