I know this first part is old news but I’ve been away for a bit and really haven’t had internet access (if you ever find yourself sitting in the airport in Phoenix don’t plan on their free internet helping you out). But I wanted to get this news posted up and it actually works out because there is a little more from today concerning the Boston Red Sox.
The Red Sox have re-signed Hideki Okajima to a one-year major league contract. He was non-tendered by the Red Sox back in December.
Okajima will have to compete for his spot in the bullpen with the likes of Lenny DiNardo, Felix Doubront, Rich Hill and Andrew Miller. As of right now, there is no sure left-hander in the Red Sox bullpen.
According to Jon Morosi of FOXSports.com, the Red Sox have also signed utility man Hector Luna to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
And finally, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com is reporting that the Red Sox have signed Tony Pena Jr. to a minor league contract as well.
I’ll have some more current Red Sox news coming up shortly as well so be sure to check back.
