The lockout has put a pause on all major-league transactions this winter, which has mostly ground this offseason to a standstill. That said, teams are still able to sign players to minor-league deals, which the Boston Red Sox have done a bit over this time. They struck again, announcing on Wednesday that they had signed former Angels right-handed pitcher Taylor Cole to a minor-league deal that also includes an invitation to spring training. He joins four others who had previously been announced as non-roster invitees to camp.
