The Red Sox have signed SS Marco Scutaro to a 2-year contract plus an option for 2012. The Blue Jays will receive a supplemental pick in this years draft & a 1st round pick from the Red Sox, depending on the remainder of Boston's transactions. Scutaro, at age 34, is coming off his career year hitting .282 with 12 HR, 100 runs scored & 60 RBI for the Blue Jays. He will be an upgrade offensively over former Red Sox SS Alex Gonzalez for sure. Scutaro has played well at Fenway hitting .290 in 28 career games. We can almost assure you that All-Star 2B Dustin Pedroia will not have to move to shortstop now.
In other news, the Rangers claimed INF Joe Inglett off waivers from the Blue Jays. Last season, Inglett hit .281 in 36 games. Inglett was great in 2008 filling in for an injured Aaron Hill hitting .297 with 3 HR & 39 RBI in 109 games. The Rangers are hoping Inglett can make the team after they lost Omar Vizquel to the White Sox.
The Brewers have signed C Gregg Zaun to a 1-year / $2.15M deal with an option for 2011. Zaun hit .260 with 8 HR for both the Rays & Orioles in 2009.
