Curt Schilling and the Boston Red Sox have reached a preliminary agreement on an $8 million, one-year contract, the Associated Press reports.

Schilling can make $5 million in bonuses to match his 2007 salary. $3 million in can be earned based on innings pitched and $2 million based on weight clauses to make sure Schilling remains fit.

Schilling comments on the deal on his blog 38 pitches.

I have to say it is incredibly cool and surreal how involved Schilling is with his blog and giving us such a deep insight into everything going on. I can’t recall an athlete that is so connected to the blog medium and it would have been interesting to see him doing so as a New York Met.
