Scutaro, who played for the Toronto Blue Jays last season, apparently has satisfied Boston's concerns about his health after he worked out for the club Tuesday and the team examined his medical records. Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com first reported Scutaro worked out near his Miami home for Red Sox executive Allard Baird. It's believed the workout helped alleviate some concerns the Red Sox had over a plantar fasciitis issue in Scutaro's right heel that kept him out the final two weeks of the 2009 season. Sources involved in the negotiations confirmed comments made by Scutaro that the Red Sox had examined his medical records. Because of Scutaro's Type A free-agency status, the Red Sox will give up a first-round pick to the Blue Jays. But Boston gets the selection back, thanks to their own Type A free agent, Billy Wagner, signing with the Braves on Wednesday. Full Article w/ Poll I knew this was going to happen, there we're plenty of talks about the BoSox signing him so this really comes as no surprise. Question now is who will start at SS for them next season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I am sure Scutaro will start at short. I think the Pedroia to SS talk was only if they were to sign Polanco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
