The door was closed on any possibility of LA resigning Takashi Saito (left), according to Fox Sports.com, as the Japanese closer has signed with the Boston Red Sox, just a day after the deal between the BoSox and former Dodger Brad Penny was finalized. Saito was the Dodgers primary closer during the 2006-08 seasons, but a right elbow injury put him on the DL, leading to the emergence of Jonathan Broxton. Boston not only has signed Saito and Penny, but John Smoltz and Mark Kotsay. Saito has 81 career saves, with 245 strike-outs in 3 seasons. His best season was 2007, when he saved 39 games and was named an All-Star, along with Penny.
