The Red Sox might be having limited success in pursuing bigger-name free agents, but that doesn’t mean Boston hasn’t been making a few spring training additions.
Included in the round of moves announced on Friday was that the Red Sox had agreed to a minor-league deal with first baseman Travis Shaw as a non-roster invite to camp.
Shaw, 31, began his Major League career in Boston in 2015, hitting .251 with 29 home runs in 2010 games over a two-year period with the Red Sox.
He was traded to the Brewers in Dec. 2016 as part of a deal that brought relief pitcher Tyler Thornburg to Boston.
