Boston Red Sox considering Austin Jackson, per report
The Red Sox are among the clubs considering signing free-agent outfielder Austin Jackson, according to Fancred's Jon Heyman. The Giants are also involved. Jackson, 31, signed a two-year deal with San Francisco before the season but struggled and was traded to the Rangers in a salary relief move last month. Texas immediately released Jackson, sending him back to the open market despite taking on the remainder of his salary through 2019.
