November 10, 200619 yr Foulke declines option and leaves Red Sox November 10, 2006 BOSTON (AP) -- Pitcher Keith Foulke, who closed out the Boston's first World Series championship in 86 years, declined a $5.25 million option Friday and filed for free agency. Foulke gets a $1.5 million buyout. He was the closer during the team's championship run in 2004, when he had 32 saves and fielded the final out of the World Series. He was bothered by knee and arm injuries the next two seasons, and replaced as closer by rookie Jonathan Papelbon this year. Boston declined a $7.5 million team option earlier this week. Just saw this too....
