Coming off a five year, $64 million pact with the Mariners during which he averaged just 21 home runs and 79 RBI playing half his games at Safeco Field, Beltre signed with the Sox on a one year, $9 million agreement.
It turned out to be a relative bargain as the 30-year old blasted 28 home runs, drove in 102 and clubbed an American League-leading 49 doubles, while providing Gold Glove-caliber defense at third base.
