Sox, Timlin reach deal ... Schilling's workout Program

A Sox club official told the Globe the team and Mike Timlin have reached an agreement to bring the reliever back to Boston for one more season:

With a deadline of midnight tonight for offering salary arbitration to their free agents, one club official said last night that the Sox had reached terms with reliever Mike Timlin on a deal to bring back the righthander for an 18th season in the big leagues, sixth with the Sox. The Sox are believed to have offered Timlin, who turns 42 March 10, around $3 million, a raise of around $300,000 from his 2007 salary.

I think this is win-win for the Sox and Timlin. $3 million isn't a lot of cash to dish out for a very solid reliever. Timlin is going to be 42-years-old, but he's been such an asset in the bullpen that he deserves to come back another year.

In other news, Curt Schilling is working his butt off so he can earn that extra $2 million. Here's a video to demonstrate show his extensive workout:
