ESPN is reporting that Curt Schilling and the Boston Red Sox are closing to a one-year deal.

The deal is believed to be incentive-laden and, according to sources, might be simply contingent on a final physical.

The Associated Press as well as Rob Bradford at the Boston Herald are reporting the story. Bradford spoke to Schilling last night who said

“(things) gathered momentum and if they continued to progress like they did (yesterday) something could potentially get done.”

Schilling had initially been looking for a $13 million extension before last season.
