As of January 29, 2025, the Boston Red Sox have signed former Oakland Athletics infielder Abraham Toro to a minor league contract with an invitation to major league spring training. Toro, 28, is a versatile switch-hitter who has primarily played third base and second base throughout his career. He has also seen time at first base and in the outfield, adding valuable depth to the Red Sox’s roster.
In the 2024 season with the Athletics, Toro appeared in 94 games, posting a .240 batting average with six home runs and 26 RBIs. His ability to make consistent contact was evident, as he struck out just 45 times over the course of the season. Toro’s defensive versatility and switch-hitting capabilities make him a valuable asset for the Red Sox as they prepare for the upcoming season.
While the specific financial terms of Toro’s contract have not been disclosed, it is known to be a minor league deal. The reported figure of $3,568,000 does not align with typical minor league contract values, suggesting that there may be a misunderstanding or misreporting of the contract details. Regardless, Toro’s addition provides the Red Sox with increased infield depth and flexibility as they head into spring training.
