It's not a surprise, but the news is sure to upset Beckett, who's a free agent at the conclusion of this season. The Red Sox signed John Lackey to a five-year, $82.5 million contract this winter but probably don't want to get locked into monster deals with too many over-30 pitchers. Beckett, 30 in May, turned in a 17-6 record, 3.86 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 199 strikeouts last year.

Risky business giving any starter regardless of how great an extenstion longer than 3 years, no less 4 years.
