The Red Sox have interest in signing Nick Swisher, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

"He is on their radar," said a source. Boston is in need of help in the outfield and potentially at first base. Swisher can play first and handle right field.

Swisher batted .272 with 24 homers and 93 RBIs last season.

A source indicated that Swisher could land a four-year, $60 million contract.
