Nov 13 (Field Level Media) – The Boston Red Sox and first baseman Jake Bauers are in agreement on a four- year, $58 million contract, ESPN reported on Friday.
Bauers, 31, is coming off a breakout season with the World Series champion Milwaukee Brewers, who had tendered a one-year, $23.15 million qualifying offer to him after the season.
He posted career highs with a .266 batting average, 26 homers and 86 RBIs in 144 games during the regular season, his third campaign with the Brewers.
