Jackie Bradley Jr. was among the players who the Boston Red Sox tendered a contract offer to by Monday’s deadline but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll remain with the team. Trading the Gold Glove award-winning center fielder to save the $11 million he’s projected to make in his final year of arbitration remains a distinct possibility and it appears a market is developing for his services.
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Arizona Diamondbacks have interest in Bradley. While this report came out shortly before it was confirmed the Red Sox would tender Bradley a contract, keeping him out of the free agent market this year, Arizona could still acquire him in a trade.
