According to
WEEI.com's Rob Bradford,
the Red Sox will not be pursuing a third Cuban outfielder—to join existing players
Yoenis Cespedes and
Rusney Castillo. Boston had previously expressed interest in 23-year old slugger
Yasmani Tomas, but apparently feel they are already over-loaded in the outfield. Reportedly, the team was also concerned about Tomas' excessive strikeout rate while playing in Cuba. Tomas has been compared to yet another Cuban player—
Jose Abreu of the White Sox.
