ESPN.com reported on Tuesday that Schilling and the team have reached agreement on an $8 million base salary with an additional $2 million in incentives. The deal is pending a physical on the right-hander, who will turn 41 on Nov. 14.
Red Sox spokesman John Blake said the team had nothing to report.
Schilling, on his "38pitches" blog, said talks have been progressing.
"Talks with the Red Sox are moving," Schilling wrote. "[General manager] Theo [Epstein] and I have spoken multiple times daily over the past week and given the current situation I am feeling very confident that we will be able to finalize a 1 year contract to allow us a chance to finish our career as members of the Red Sox organization.
"There are some things to iron out and details that must be finalized for both sides but barring something unforseen [sic] or outrageously odd happening I feel very comfortable that I will finish my career here," he added.
Schilling underwent an MRI on his right shoulder on Tuesday as part of his physical, Boston.com reported. Schilling missed a month of this past season with right shoulder tendinitis.
Not often will I snag a complete article written by someone else..but today..well with this kind of good news I feel its justified.
I think its great that the game pieces on the 2008 team are starting to fall into place.
I am sure some feel that Curt should go and plenty that he will stay. Fact is he help lead us to our 2004 World Series win and was a help in the 2007 win.
Boston is now his home and it is right that, if he wants, he should finish his career here.
Here is a heart felt CONGRATULATION on being Re-signed to CURT that may be a bit premature.
NOW LETS SIGN MIKE LOWELL!!!
UPDATE!!!! Its a done deal!!!! Curt will be back next year !!!!! GREAT NEWS!!!!
