Report: Agent for Pablo Sandoval confirms deal with Red Sox

Update: Gustavo Vasquez, Pablo Sandoval's agent, has acknowledged that a deal with the Boston Red Sox has been completed, pending a physical, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports. 

Pablo Sandoval is headed to Boston.

The Red Sox and the free-agent third baseman have agreed to a five-year deal worth "close to" $100 million, according to CBS' Jon Heyman. 

Sandoval's reportedly on his way to Boston on Monday morning to finalize the deal. It'll be a busy day for the Red Sox, as they're also reportedly expected to finalize a deal with free agent Hanley Ramirez as well. 

By adding Sandoval and Ramirez, the left side of the Red Sox infield goes from a scrapheap to an embarrassment of riches. The team is still high on 22-year-old shortstop Xander Bogaerts, so there's been talk of possibly moving Ramirez to left field for the first time in his major league career and trading Yoenis Cespedes. Whatever general manager Ben Cherington has envisioned for his 2015 Opening Day roster, one thing is certain, there's still plenty of moves left to be done.

In Sandoval, the Red Sox get a three-time World Series champion who is just 28 years old. The switch-hitter is solid defensively, despite a robust frame, and projects to benefit well from hitter friendly Fenway Park. 

Boston received paltry production from the hot corner in 2014, posting a league-worst .211 average while manager 10 home runs. 

The move likely spells the end of the road for Will Middlebrooks in the organization, as the 26-year-old battled injuries and inconsistency over his three seasons in Boston. In 232 games, Middlebrooks slashed .237/.284/.411 with 34 home runs and 238 strikeouts.
