The Boston Red Sox have made an effort to revamp their roster this season, signing a number of veteran players to short-term deals.
The newest addition to the Boston squad, according to reports, is utilityman Enrique Hernandez, who has agreed to a two-year, $14 million deal with his new team.
Hernandez spent the past six seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he was a key piece of their roster as a handy option off of the bench. With the ability to play almost anywhere on the field, he was an important piece for them which provided their roster with much-needed depth and a more than capable bat.
Despite only averaging .240 during his career, Hernandez has some pop in his bat and has hit 71 home runs in only 690 career games. He appeared in 100+ games for the Dodgers every season between 2015 and 2019, solidifying his role as a “glue guy” for their contending squads.
It is not immediately known how Hernandez will fit in with the Sox, but he should be a candidate to play plenty for a team that looks to be in rebuilding mode over the next couple of seasons.
The newest Red Sox member will report to camp in Florida next month with his new team.
