Red Sox Add Former All-Star Power Hitter on Minor League Deal
The Boston Red Sox have signed veteran first baseman C.J. Cron to a minor league deal, adding competition for Bobby Dalbec's roster spot. Cron, a former All-Star, provides a right-handed hitting option at first base and may challenge Dalbec for a backup role behind Triston Casas. With a career .260 batting average and 187 homers, Cron brings power but less positional versatility. Both players will have a chance to make the team before Opening Day, with Cron having an opt-out clause.
