BOCA RATON, Fla. – In another sign that the Red Sox are keeping a wide-open mind to dealing one of their current big-league outfielders – Jackie Bradley Jr. is the lead candidate by a wide margin – the ballclub is scheduled to meet Tuesday with the representatives for free agent outfielder Chris Young, according to a major-league source at the GM meetings.
The 32-year-old Young is seeking an everyday job with his next ballclub, and he has received indications from the Red Sox that their interest in him is not as a fourth outfielder but as an everyday outfielder or at least one with significant playing time.
