The Boston Red Sox have given Freeway Ricky Porcello a $82.5 million extension.
Readers know I’m a huge Freeway Ricky fan. I was sad to see him go and I was worried about how he would fit in with the Red Sox. There are still a few players left that witnessed a very young Freeway Ricky beat Youk into a conniption.
Apparently my worries were unfounded.
Bravo Freeway Ricky!

Remember when Ricky beat Youk into a conniption?
He will always protect his hitters.. Clearly now after the dust has settled Ricky did not have long term plans here. Sorry to see him go, though I do not believe he will be rewarded with as much success in Boston.
