A seven-year deal lures Boston’s longtime center fielder to the Bronx.
In a stunning free agent move, the New York Yankees have signed star Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury to a massive seven-year contract worth somewhere around $153 million, according to multiple reports.

Ellsbury had the 13th-best facial hair on last year's team of bearded World Series champions, so the Sox will have to fill that critical void from somewhere else.

Ellsbury is well-known for his speed atop the Sox lineup, averaging one steal every three games over his career.

The Sox themselves are well-known for being rivals of the Yankees, so Ellsbury's departure MIGHT not go over well in Boston.
