Red Sox sign Coco Crisp for another three years

The Boston Red Sox will hold a news conference at 3:30 this afternoon to announce a three-year contract extension with center fielder Coco Crisp, the Associated Press is reporting. The contract includes an option for 2010.

The Red Sox and Crisp agreed in February to a one-year, $2.75-million deal that avoided arbitration. The club acquired the 26-year-old Crisp in a multiplayer deal with the Cleveland Indians; Boston gave up top prospect Andy Marte in the deal.

Crisp broke into the majors with the Indians in 2002. Last year, he hit .300 with 16 home runs, 86 runs scored and 69 RBIs. He hit .333 over five games this year before going on the disabled list with a fractured finger.
