Jonathan Papelbon, Three Others File for Salary Arbitration

No player under the Theo Epstein regime has reached an arbitration hearing but with four Red Sox players filing on Friday, that could change this year.

Pitchers Jonathan Papelbon, Ramon Ramirez and Manny Delcarmen, as well as outfielder Jeremy Hermida were the four Red Sox players to file for salary arbitration Friday.

The deadline for teams and players to submit salary figures for arbitration is Tuesday. Last year, Papelbon signed a record amount for a first-year eligible player when he inked a one-year, $6.25 million deal.
