Contract negotiations between the Red Sox and pitcher Josh Beckett are entering the final stages, according to a source. Boston hasn't offered Beckett a fifth-year like they gave John Lackey, but talks are still going smoothly. "Josh did not insist on the fifth year," said the source, indicating that Beckett's total package will be worth "Lackey money." Beckett is due to be paid $12 million in 2010, so a four-year deal worth $70.5 million would match that of Lackey.
