Red Sox Did Not Pursue Eugenio Suarez in Free Agency
According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, the Boston Red Sox did not play a "meaningful role" in Eugenio Suarez's free agent market. On Sunday evening, the slugging third baseman inked a one-year deal to return to Cincinnati. The Pittsburgh Pirates were also in heavy pursuit, but it appears the Red Sox did not make a strong push to upgrade their infield. The Red Sox were linked to several of the top infielders this winter but have been unsuccessful in their free-agent search. With Suarez off the board, the Red Sox could still look for a trade candidate or enter camp with Marcelo Mayer slated to cover third base. Last season, Mayer made his MLB debut and held a modest .228/.272/.402 slash line with four long balls. However, he showed significant upside as he progressed through the Boston system. If he were to open the season as the team's No. 1 third baseman, he would have solid sleeper appeal in deeper formats.
