"The Red Sox reached agreement with free agent second baseman Brendan Rodgers on a minor league contract, reports Chris Cotillo of MassLive. The Boras Corporation client will be in camp as a non-roster invitee. Boston is seemingly taking a volume approach to second base because they didn't come away with an impact player on the trade front. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is the presumptive starter after agreeing to a $6MM deal last night."
"Rodgers becomes their most experienced non-roster possibility. The 29-year-old infielder has played over six years in the majors. The third overall pick in 2015 by the Rockies, he was Colorado's primary second baseman from 2021-24. Rodgers won a Gold Glove in '22 thanks to a spike in his Defensive Runs Saved total. He has otherwise graded as an average defender."
The Red Sox signed free agent second baseman Brendan Rodgers to a minor league contract and will have him in big-league camp as a non-roster invitee. Boston pursued multiple internal options at second base after failing to secure an impact trade acquisition. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is the presumptive starter after signing a $6 million deal. Romy Gonzalez, David Hamilton, and Nick Sogard are expected to compete for playing time and utility roles. Rodgers, 29, has six major-league seasons, was the Rockies' primary second baseman 2021-24, won a 2022 Gold Glove, and has seen offensive production decline recently due to injuries.
