As reported by Art Martone of the Providence Journal, Jonathan Papelbon said during a radio appearance Wednesay night that he enjoys "rolling the dice" from year to year and is not yet concerned about negotiating a multi-year extension.
"You have to weigh so many different things [in negotiating a long-term contract], and it’s so hard to put it in perspective," Papeblon said. If he can keep up his current rate of production, he’ll continue pulling in big checks in the offseason. The Red Sox shelled out $6.25MM Tuesday to avoid an arbitration hearing.
