The Boston Red Sox have not been nearly as active as some of the other teams around the league, with their only major-league signing being Michael Wacha, who signed a one-year deal over the weekend worth $7 million. That has not changed in the early parts of this week as we head into the transaction freeze that will coincide with the league’s lockout, but they did add a bit of depth in the form of two minor-league signings, both of whom received invitations to spring training.
The first, reported by Masslive’s Chris Cotillo, can help in both the infield and the outfield, though he’s played more on the grass of late than on the dirt.
