The Red Sox exercised their option on starter Tim Wakefield for 2009 on Friday, a day after Jason Varitek, David Ross and Alex Cora filed for free agency.

In what likely signified the end of his highly memorable tenure with the Boston Red Sox -- and possibly his impressive career -- veteran right-hander Curt Schilling filed for free agency on Friday.

Tim Wakefield's $4 million option for 2009 was exercised by the Boston Red Sox on Friday. The 42-year-old knuckleballer was 10-11 with a 4.13 ERA in 30 starts this year, his 14th season with Boston. He is second in club history with 1,797 strikeouts and has 164 wins for Boston, 28 behind Roger Clemens and Cy Young, who share the team lead with 192.

Tim Wakefield will play a 15th season with the Boston Red Sox as the team on Friday exercised the 2009 contract option on the righthander.
