Red Sox Release Eric Hosmer
2 years agoThe Boston Red Sox released first baseman Eric Hosmer on Thursday, according to a source. Boston had designated Hosmer for assignment last week, but he obviously didn't attract any attention and will now be free to sign with any team this offseason. The 33-year-old was traded by the San Diego Padres to Boston at the Aug. 2 trade deadline and finished 2022 with a .268/.334/.382 slash line, a .716 OPS, eight home runs, 44 RBI and 38 runs scored in 419 plate appearances and 104 games between both teams. All eight of his long balls came in San Diego, and he hit just .244 in 14 games with the BoSox to end the season while also going on the injured list with a back injury late in the season. Wherever Hosmer surfaces, he won't have much fantasy appeal in normal fantasy leagues as a first baseman with limited power.
