When your starting rotation is dangerously thin on depth you need to gamble on a few lottery tickets. The Boston Red Sox may have found a jackpot winner if everything breaks right for Collin McHugh.
The team announced on Thursday that they have signed the right-hander to a one-year deal for the 2020 season. Hector Velazquez has been designated for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster.
Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports that McHugh will earn a base salary of $600,000 with incentives based on innings and availability.
