Red Sox Pick Up Scutaro's 2012 Option
Sep 25, 2014 3:25 AM
The Red Sox have picked up the $6 million option on the contract of shortstop Marco Scutaro for 2012.
Scutaro, who had a $3 million player option if Boston had passed, hit a career-best .299 for the season with seven homers and 54 RBIs.
"Scutaro had a really good year and we believe he'd be very coveted this offseason if he got into the market," general manager Ben Cherington said last week.
