The Boston Red Sox this offseason considered signing multiple catchers to bolster their major league depth. They didn't land any of their top targets, such as J.T. Realmuto or Victor Caratini, so they turned back to a familiar face.
The Red Sox on February 4 claimed Mickey Gasper off waivers from the Washington Nationals, via Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. He's been placed on the 40-man roster, which now sits at 39 players.
Gasper, a Merrimack, New Hampshire native, has moved around MLB quite a bit in the last few years.
