Red Sox signed OF Matt Fraizer to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
A 2019 third-round pick, Fraizer looked like a prospect at times with the Pirates before stalling out in Double-A for about three years. Last season, though, he was quite good in Triple-A when healthy, hitting .305/.361/.452 with 14 steals and a career-low 20% strikeout rate in 220 plate appearances. If he keeps that up, he might see some time in the majors at some point. However, Boston’s outfield figures to be one of the toughest in the league to crack.
