	Boston Red Sox - Red Sox land top reliever, set title course - The Boston Globe
		Gagne, who has the best save conversion rate in history among pitchers with at least 180 chances (177 of 184, a 96.2 percent success rate, including a record 84 straight when he was with the Dodgers), had a $6 million base salary, with an additional $5 million in performance bonuses, most based on games finished.
		Gagne's agent, Scott Boras, said the lump-sum payment could be interpreted in a number of ways, but essentially was the mechanism to get Gagne to waive the no-trade clause.
		Gagne embraced coming to Boston, Boras said, for the chance to win, and after receiving assurances he would be able to maintain a closer's routine even if used in the eighth inning, which Boras said, will frequently mean he'll start the inning.
