Alexi Ogando signs with Red Sox - 美國職棒

The Boston Red Sox have singed free-agent right-hander Alexi Ogando to a one-y
ear major league contract.

The deal is worth $1.5 million guaranteed, with incentives, according to
reports. The incentives could push the deal to $3 million, according to a USA
Today report.

Non-tendered by the Texas Rangers in December, Ogando, 31, was viewed as one
of the market's top low-risk, high-reward arms. An All-Star as a starter in
2011, a myriad injuries in recent seasons derailed the once-promising
right-hander. Ogando went 2-3 with a 6.84 ERA last season in 25 innings
pitched out of the bullpen.

Used as both a starter and reliever over the course of his five-year major
league career, Ogando has found success in both roles. In 48 starts, Ogando
is 19-12 with a 3.40 ERA. In 135 games out of the bullpen, Ogando is 9-4 with
a 3.25 ERA.

The Red Sox are likely to use Ogando as a reliever given his injury history
and use in such a role last season.

To make room for Ogando on the 40-man roster, the Red Sox designated lefty
Drake Britton for assignment.
