Career Notes:
Climbed the ladder as a top prospect in the Twins' system.
Finished 7th in AL Rookie of the Year voting in 2014. Traded to
Atlanta in 2017 for Kevin Chapman. Signed with the Red Sox
during Spring Training in 2021 and eventually joined the club
after playing well on a rehab assignment and then in Triple-A,
but struggled mightily in MLB in limited playing time. Received
an 80-game suspension in April 2022 after testing positive for
Boldenone while a free agent. Signed with the Red Sox in late
July 2022 at a time when the club's high minors depth had been
significantly thinned by injuries at the MLB level. Played seven
games in the FCL before being released because trade
acquisitions and returning MLB players buttressed the
organization's high-minors rosters.
Summation:
Former major league-caliber utility player approaching the tail
end of his career. Best used as Triple-A depth at this point in
his career.
