It didn’t take long for Craig Breslow and the Red Sox to bolster their lineup this offseason.
According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, Boston signed former Brewers first baseman Jake Bauers to a four-year, $58 million contract.
Bauers — a left-handed slugger coming off a breakout 2026 season — is expected to slot in at DH for Boston while also spelling Willson Contreras at first base when needed.
The 31-year-old Bauers doesn’t have a long track record as an impact bat in the heart of a big-league lineup.
