Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
BOSTON, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- The Boston Red Sox signed shortstop Edgar Renteria to a four-year contract Friday.
Boston has a club option for a fifth season in a deal reportedly worth $40 million.
"Edgar Renteria has proven himself to be not only one of the best shortstops in baseball but one of the most complete all-around players in the game," Red Sox General Manager Theo Epstein said. "His blend of speed, power, defense, durability and leadership makes him a terrific addition to the ball club."
Renteria played the last six seasons with St. Louis. He made the last out in the final game of the World Series against Boston.
He batted .287 last season with 10 home runs and 72 RBI.
