Al Smith Signs With Boston Red Sox After Indians Release
Veteran outfielder Al Smith, 36, released by the Cleveland Indians last Friday, has been signed by Boston. A Red Sox spokesman said Smith’s immediate role isn’t set but he is believed to be used mainly as a pinch hitter. Smith began his MLB career with Cleveland 12 years ago and rejoined the Tribe last winter in a trade with Baltimore that sent Willie Kirkland plus $50,000 to Baltimore.
