With Papelbon, Delcarmen and Ramirez officially signed on for 2010... here's a look at the current Red Sox payroll for the upcoming season - courtesy of Cot's Contracts:

salary

Ellsbury, Bard and Buchholz should all get minor raises for 2010 but the three additional contract aren't likely to total more than $1.75 million. And with the creative contract the Sox gave Beltre, his figure is actually only $7M in regards to the CBT luxury tax. That means the $162.5 million mark is roughly where the Sox will stand with Jeremy Hermida still unsigned and a few minor league deals to hand out.

Bottom Line: It will be close, but it looks like they will avoid going over the $170 million CBT ceiling again this season.

I'm so glad J.D. is no longer the highest paid Red Sock, and am sure he is too. Am hoping his next couple of years will be comfortable, productive, healhy, and full of fan support. That said, this is an expensive team because there are so many genuine All Star, Gold Glove, SS, Cy talents who are all reasonably paid. Next couple of years, when at least $90MM come off the books and 10 current prospects move onto the roster with rookie pay, this will still be a star studded team but with a payroll far from the top. That 1-2 year bridge to keep us in the playoffs while the kids develop, is expensive.
