According to ESPN Boston's Gordon Edes, the Red Sox are "getting close" to signing Shane Victorino. The Red Sox have reportedly offered the outfielder a three-year deal worth close to $38 million. That's a big chunk of change for a guy who hit just .255/.321/.383 in 2012, but the Boston front office clearly thinks he can bounce back. The Indians are also known to have interest.
