Red Sox Eyed Ex-yankees 2-time All Star before $15 Million Deal…
The Boston Red Sox have been linked to pretty much every somewhat big-name free agent so far this offseason.
Boston already has improved the starting rotation and is looking to add some more offense. It has been reported that the Red Sox have an interest in adding right-handed pop at second base and one player the club reportedly had some interest in is former New York Yankees All-Star Gleyber Torres, according to the Boston Globe’s Alex Speier.
“The Red Sox showed some interest in free agent Gleyber Torres — who would have filled the right-handed-hitting second baseman profile — but never made an offer to the 28-year-old before he agreed Friday to a one-year, $15 million deal with the Tigers,” Speier said. “The Sox were believed to have other priority targets ahead of Torres.”
