On Friday, Chase Ford of MiLB Central reported that the Red Sox had agreed to terms with Matt Fraizer, a 27-year-old outfielder who had spent the last 6 1/2 years in the Pirates organization, to a minor-league contract. That report was confirmed by several others, including Red Sox insider Chris Cotillo of MassLive.
The Red Sox made a deal with the Cardinals for Contreras because of his above-average bat for the middle of the order and above-average glove for the infield defense, his conversation from catcher last season a success.
