Another free agent who had been linked to the Red Sox is off the board, though, in this case we’re now learning that the links were never that strong. The Los Angeles Dodgers resigned outfielder Teoscar Hernandez to a 3-year, $66 million deal last night. Hernandez is a right-handed hitting outfielder with power — a profile the Red Sox could use given the loss of Tyler O’Neill. But, according to several reports, the Red Sox really weren’t that involved in the bidding. (Kaley Brown, Boston.com)
Hernandez isn’t the only free agent the Sox weren’t all that interested in.
