The contract is the largest ever for a reliever, and it actually totals $50,000,058. The deal includes a vesting option for 2016 that could become guaranteed based on games finished and would make it worth $63 million over five seasons. So what about that extra $58? “You’ll have to ask Cinco Ocho that question,” Papelbon joked. “I can give you his phone number if you need it.” Papelbon will wear No. 58, which belonged to lefty Antonio Bastardo(notes) last year. His nickname, of course, mimics Chad Ochocinco. The six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver legally changed his name from Chad Johnson to match his uniform No. 85. wait so they gave away Antonio Bastardos number?
