The Boston Red Sox have spent the bulk of the winter thus far searching for a replacement for legendary DH David Ortiz. Dave Dombrowksi has said, “If you had to draw the ideal scenario, it’d be probably somebody that swings the bat from the left-hand side who could play first base.”
Albeit a fairly vague description of an ideal target, one potential match is former Texas Ranger first baseman Mitch Moreland.
A tweet from Fort Worth Star-Telegram writer Jeff Wilson confirms Boston’s interest in the 31-year old slugger:
