Red Sox sign Saito to one-year deal

The Red Sox continue to stay busy this offseason. On Saturday, they signed reliever Takashi Saito to a one-year contract with a club option for 2010, according to FOXSports.com. A Major League source confirmed the report.

Saito is the fourth player Boston signed this week. The team signed pitchers John Smoltz and Brad Penny and outfielder Rocco Baldelli. Like the trio, Saito is considered a low-risk, high-reward gamble. Last season, Saito missed a lot of time with a sprained ligament in his right elbow.
