Yup - confirmed he won't go due to a nagging hamstring injury.

Question RE: MLB Baseball 2019 season (Rice update)
[Image: 942853990.jpg.0.jpg]

Free agent Brock Holt may be heading elsewhere

Quote:What Holt offers a team goes beyond the scorecard and highlight reels. He’s the ultimate clubhouse guy that can bring any group together. Brock is also a leader in the community and is captain of the Jimmy Fund for the Red Sox.

His efforts off the field make him desirable to any club almost more than what he can do on it. However, I shouldn’t gloss over the quality of player that Brock has become during his time in Boston. Holt’s .297/.369/.402/.771 stat line for 2019 would be one of the best in his career despite missing much of the season due to injury and a scratched cornea. Pretty damn good for a guy in a contract year with just half a season to work with.

Deep Sea Fishing: Brock Holt

Cleveland Indians: Brock Holt would make sense as a low-cost acquisition

Blue Jays: Brock Holt could add versatility in utility role

6 under the radar free agents for Yankees | Brock Holt on radar?

Red Sox select possible Brock Holt replacement in Rule 5 draft from Astros

Quote:On Thursday, they selected infielder Jonathan Arauz from the Astros in the Rule 5 draft. The switch-hitting infielder must spend the season on the big league roster or be offered back to the Astros for $50,000. He will compete for a roster spot as a utilityman, with the Red Sox likely moving on from free agent Brock Holt.

Question RE: MLB Baseball 2019 season (Rice update)

Predicting where MLB's top remaining free agents will sign
Brock Holt: Holt bounced back from serious health issues to become one of the best utility players the past two seasons, hitting .286/.366/.407. He played mostly second base for the Red Sox in 2019, but also started games at first base, third base, shortstop, left field and right field. He's a lefty bat and hit .318/.394/.438 against right-handers in 2019, so he could be deployed as the strong side of a platoon at second base. The Red Sox signed Jose Peraza, so it's unlikely the popular Holt returns to Boston.

Best fits: Indians, Yankees, Nationals, A's

Prediction: Indians. The Indians' website lists Mike Freeman as their starting second baseman -- and Freeman was just removed from the 40-man roster following the Corey Kluber trade. Holt won't be so costly as to be out of Cleveland's price range. The Nationals have holes at second base and third base (one spot should go to rookie Carter Kieboom), and Howie Kendrick is best suited for first base these days, so Holt could be a fit at second for them.
