The Boston Red Sox have reached a contract agreement with left-hander Chris Capuano, according to a person familiar with the situation.

The Red Sox wanted another experienced starter after Ryan Dempster said Sunday he would not pitch in 2014, citing physical and personal reasons. That still left the World Series champions with five quality veterans in the rotation - Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz, John Lackey, Jake Peavy and Felix Doubront.
