Red Sox agree to minors deal with David Murphy
David Murphy is headed back to where it all began.
The Boston Red Sox have reportedly agreed to a minor-league deal with the outfielder, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.
Should Murphy crack Boston's big-league roster, he would earn $2 million in the deal, according to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe.
Murphy made his MLB debut with the Red Sox in 2006, but played only 23 games for the club before being shipped to the Texas Rangers in a 2007 trade for former reliever Eric Gagne.
The 34-year-old spent last season with the Los Angeles Angels, hitting .265/.281/.400 in 48 games. He also played 213 games for the Cleveland Indians between the 2014 and 2015 seasons.
Over his 10-year career, Murphy owns a .274/.333/.432 slash line, along with 104 home runs.
