Moreland agreed to a one-year deal with the Red Sox on Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports.
The deal is contingent on Moreland passing a physical, but it appears that the former Texas Ranger is headed to Boston. Although he's coming off a down season in terms of average, Moreland remained a force at the plate as he hit over 20 home runs for the third time in the last four years. Headed into 2017, Boston will likely move Hanley Ramirez from first base to the DH spot to make room for the sure-handed Moreland, who won a Gold Glove following his 2016 performance.
