The Boston Red Sox sign Gustavo Molina
The Red Sox have signed 27-year old righty swinging catcher Gustavo Molina to a minor league deal. Molina played in 72 games in AAA-ball last season and he was 44 for 211 (.209 avg, .541 OPS) with 19 runs scored, 2 homers and 24 RBIs. He last played in the majors in 2008 with the Mets. Molina has played in 19 games in his major league career and he is 4 for 34 (.118 avg, .309 OPS) with 1 run scored and 1 RBI. This signing was for organizational depth and little more as Molina doesn’t have much of an upside.
