The Boston Red Sox may look to trade outfielder Yoenis Cespedes this offseason, according to the Boston Globe.
The Red Sox reportedly expressed reluctance to re-sign Cespedes to a long-term deal after acquiring him from the Oakland A’s in the late July trade involving left-hander Jon Lester.
Cespedes, 29, has one year left on his four-year, $36-million deal he signed with the A’s before the 2012 season. He is due $10.5 million next season.
This year, Cespedes batted .260 with 22 home runs and 100 RBIs. In 51 games with the Red Sox, he batted .269 with five homers and 33 RBIs.
Cespedes has a career batting average of .263 with 71 home runs and 262 RBIs in 416 major-league games over three seasons.
