Brock Holt’s seven-season tenure with the Red Sox is apparently over, The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reporting on Monday night that Milwaukee has a deal with the free agent utilityman.
The deal, Rosenthal said, is pending a physical.
Holt, 31, became a beloved figure in Boston, a far cry from when he was acquired as the second player in the trade to get closer Joel Hanrahan from the Pirates just after Christmas 2012.
Holt, who was an All-Star in 2015, made $3.575 million last season, and hit .297 with a .771 OPS. A reunion seemed unlikely, given the signing of Jose Peraza for $3 million in December, and especially so after the team issued Holt’s No.
