Reports: Red Sox Sign Pitcher Garrett Richards

A person with knowledge of the deals told The Associated Press that Boston Red Sox have agreed to terms with second baseman Enrique Hernandez and right-hander Garrett Richards. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the contracts could not be announced until the players had passed their physicals. Hernandez is a career .240 hitter who has hit 71 homers with 227 RBIs in seven seasons, most of them with the Dodgers. The Red Sox need a second baseman to replace Dustin Pedroia, who has played in just nine games since injuring his knee in 2017.?
