The evolution of Rob Refsnyder
Rob Refsnyder had a pretty good run with the Red Sox. Now it's come to an end.
The 34-year-old, who signed with the Red Sox before the 2022 season, has agreed to a one-year, $6.25 million deal with the Mariners.
Refsnyder is coming off back-to-back years of .830 and .838 OPS, respectively. Against lefty pitching last season, the outfielder totaled a .959 OPS.
In his four seasons with the Red Sox, Refnsyder a combined .804 OPS, having started 192 games. With the emergence of Nate Eaton, and the likely willingness to play Wilyer Abreu more against left-handed pitching, Refsnyder's return was always somewhat in doubt.
