One of MLB’s fastest players — if not the fastest — is coming to Boston.
The Red Sox announced Friday afternoon that they had claimed speedster outfielder Tim Locastro off waivers from the New York Yankees.
Locastro, a 29-year-old who has played with Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Yankees, is perhaps best known breaking Tim Raines’s record for the most consecutive stolen bases to begin a career — at 28.
He extended the streak to 29 before he was caught for the first time this past April.
