The Boston Red Sox had been connected to top free agent Freddie Freeman before the former Brave signed in Los Angeles, and while that would have been an exciting move it wasn’t the most immediate need as the Red Sox have Bobby Dalbec at first base with Triston Casas waiting in the wings. That said, they could at least use a little more depth at the position, preferably a left-handed bat to complement Dalbec. They acquired some of that depth Friday morning according to a report from Chris Cotillo, bringing back Travis Shaw. It’s a minor-league deal for the former Boston ninth round selection.
