It didn’t work out so well the last time the Red Sox went bear hunting, as Pablo Sandoval’s two-plus seasons in Boston were memorable for all of the wrong reasons.

Ozuna, aka The Big Bear, signed a one-year, $18 million deal with the Braves last winter after turning down a one-year, $17.8 million qualifying offer from the St. Louis Cardinals.
