In what isn't quite a head-scratcher, the Red Sox signed former American League Cy Young winner Bartolo Colon to a minor league contract.
The Colon signing is an insurance policy. I still feel like Colon has something left to offer but I'm not sure in what capacity. He'll be good if the Sox need a fifth starter, or if injuries occur at any point. Let's hope he shows up to spring training slimmer and stronger.
Thoughts?
