Murphy agreed to a minor league contract with the Red Sox on Monday, ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy will get a chance to compete for a roster spot this spring, but on a minor league contract, he won't be guaranteed a place on the Opening Day roster. If he does make the cut, Murphy would provide a left-handed complement at the corner outfield positions behind starters Rusney Castillo and Mookie Betts.
