The Red Sox signed right-hander John Maine to a minor league contract, Steve
DeShazo of the Fredericksburg Freelance-Star reports. Agent Rex Gary told
DeShazo that the Red Sox will look at Maine as a reliever.
Maine, 30, last pitched in the Majors with the 2010 Mets. He had a strong
2007 season, when he posted a 3.91 ERA with 8.5 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 in 191
innings, but his performance later dropped off and he missed considerable
time with shoulder injuries. Maine posted a 7.43 ERA in 46 innings with the
Rockies' top affiliate in 2011.
