After multiple reports of ‘interest,’ the Red Sox are signing outfielder Adam Duvall as first reported by Craig Mish of the Miami Herald. According to Mish, the 34-year-old outfielder is getting a one-year, $7 million deal with performance bonuses that could increase the value to up to $10 million.
Adding Duvall to the roster gives the Red Sox some much-needed outfield depth behind Alex Verdugo, Kiké Hernández, Masataka Yoshida, Jarren Duran, and Rob Refsnyder. The move also gives the Red Sox the flexibility to play Hernández – a true utility player – in the infield which is something the team may need to do following Trevor Story’s elbow surgery.
