Boston Red Sox agreed to a multi-year contract with Puerto Rican utility company Enrique “Kiké” Hernández, according to renowned journalist Mark Feinsand. from MLB.com. Hernandez is a Wasserman customer. It’s a two-year, $ 14 million transaction for Borinqueño, Feinsand reports. As the famous reporter Chris Cotillo from MassLive.com points out, he is the largest director of baseball operations with a free agent contract that Chaim Bloom has granted since he took office in Boston outside last season.
Hernandez is an obvious candidate for significant representatives at second base, where the club finished 25th in the fWAR (minus-0.2) last season. Michael Chavis and Christian Arroyo are the only two healthy core members on Boston’s 40-man list right now.
Of course, some also have questions with Jackie Bradley Jr., a free agent, and Andrew Benintendi, a trade candidate, so Hernandez could be a factor on the grass as well.
Hernandez, 29, played 344 field games, 200 in the middle, 82 in the short, 33 in third base and 15 in first base. He has averaged .240 / .313 / .425 in parts of the last seven seasons, including six with the Dodgers.
