Boston Red Sox’s Latest Signing Proves His Worth With a Major Honor in the Dominican League

Boston Red Sox have not had a lot to cheer for in the last year or so. From playing in the ALCS in 2021, the Red Sox plummeted in 2022. They finished as one of the worst teams in the MLB and failed to make the postseason. Furthermore, they have failed to impress with the signings they have made this off-season.?

Their franchise star Xander Bogaerts left in free agency and they have not yet brought in a player to replace him. But there is one thing that the Red Sox can look forward to. One of their newest signings recently played in the Dominican Winter League and was awarded a top honor.

Jorge Alfaro helped Tigres del Licey win their 23rd Dominican Winter League Title and was named Finals MVP

The Boston Red Sox recently signed Jorge Alfaro to a minor league deal. He will act as a third catcher that they can call up if needed. But Alfaro might have just given the Red Sox a reason to play him in the MLB. While suiting up for Tigres del Licey in the Dominican Winter League, Alfaro helped the team win the title. Furthermore, he was also named MVP for the Finals Series. MLB insider Hector Gomez shared informed the same via Twitter.

In a Tweet, Gomez said, ?Jorge Alfaro was named MVP of the Dominican Winter League Final Series.? This will come as good news to Red Sox fans who have been disappointed with the team as of late. Although this won?t guarantee that Alfaro plays in the MLB, it will increase his chances.
