The Red Sox continue to remake their team this winter and signed OF Shane Victorino to a 3 year deal worth $37.5-$39 million depending on who you ask. The Sox needed OF help and Victorino has been worth 3 plus wins in each of the last six seasons. He’s probably never going to make another run at 5.0 WAR, but he should be a useful outfielder for the Sox over the next couple seasons.

He’s not a great player on offense anymore but he doesn’t strike out and has a solid glove that should play up in a corner outfield spot. This isn’t a great player, but $12-13 million a season doesn’t buy what it used to. It’s a very interesting market for outfielders with a lot of very different players with  very different skill sets. Bourn, Swisher, and Hamilton are left and the Red Sox are no longer in the market for them, so we should be getting closer to a resolution.
