Outfielder Mike Cameron in serious talks with Red Sox
ByUpdate 21:09: Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com reports that Cameron has agreed to a 2-year deal in the range of $15.5 million pending a physical. The signing of Cameron indicates that Boston has walked away from Matt Holliday and Jason Bay.
The Red Sox have had a busy Monday. Let’s see what they’ve done so far:
- They made an offer to Cuben phenom pitcher Aroldis Chapman.
- They discussed a trade with the Padres for Adrian Gonzalez.
- That’s in addition to being turned down by Jason Bay over the weekend.
Oh yeah… They also signed pitcher John Lackey.
The latest rumor from Boston according to Ken Rosenthal’s Tweet is that Mike Cameron and the Red Sox are in serious negotiations on a two-year deal. It is unknown whether he’ll play center field or left field.
Over the last week, several teams have indicated their interest in Cameron, including the Yankees, Braves, Cubs, Mets and Giants. Cameron played center field for the Brewers last season and made $10 million while hitting 24 home runs, driving in 70 RBIs and hitting .250. You can see his complete statistics here.
