The Red Sox brass must really be shaking in their boots over the
Pablo Sandoval/
Mitch Moreland tandem. Today,
they signed yet another 'insurance policy' in 34-year-old Carlos Quentin—who hasn't played in the majors since 2014. Reportedly, it's a minor-league deal—and Quentin will earn $750,000 if he makes the MLB roster. You might recall Quentin having decent seasons with
The Pale Hose during the late stages of the second
George W. Bush administration and
the early part of the first
Barack Obama administration. Once he was traded to the Padres in 2012, injuries and poor performances set in. Given all of that, this is a
very weird signing.
