The Red Sox were reportedly close to adding Brad Penny to their pitching rotation on Sunday.
Citing a Major League source, FoxSports.com reported that the right-hander was close to agreeing to a one-year contract with Boston.
Penny, a Dodger since 2004, was limited to 19 appearances and 17 starts last season by a lingering shoulder injury that required three stints on the disabled list.
