Greg Allen Agrees With Red Sox On Minor-League Deal
The Boston Red Sox agreed with free-agent outfielder Greg Allen on a minor-league deal on Wednesday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, according to a source. Allen didn't make his 2022 season debut until the second half of the season due to a hamstring, and he finished with a weak .186/.260/.271 slash line with only two home runs, eight RBI, 17 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 46 games for the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 29-year-old switch-hitter will strictly provide Boston with outfield depth if he sticks around with the organization. Allen is a career .232/.299/.336 hitter with a .635 OPS and 10 home runs in six big-league seasons. His greatest asset is probably his speed, as he's swiped 45 bases in 282 games played.
