Inside The Red Sox


FAN FAVORITE EX-RED SOX CATCHER SIGNS ELSEWHERE AFTER TUMULTUOUS SEASON

By Scott Neville,

2023-12-14

A former Boston Red Sox player is moving on after two separate stints in the
organization last season.

Despite the fanfare generated for his dramatic antics and stark resemblance to
Jason Mamoa, this slugger never caught on in Boston .

"Sources: Free-agent catcher Jorge Alfaro in agreement with the Chicago Cubs on
a minor-league contract that includes an invite to spring training," FanSided's
Robert Murray reported Wednesday.



Immediately upon his signing last winter, Alfaro's gargantuan bat flips started
to garner attention from Red Sox fans.



He went on to post a .478 batting average (11-for-23) with a 1.390 OPS in nine
spring training games and then rake for Triple-A Worcester.

Alfaro hit .320 with 21 extra-base hits including six home runs, 30 RBIs and a
.887 OPS in 42 games for the WooSox to open the year.



By this point, fans were demanding Alfaro receive a call-up -- particularly
those who did not pay attention or value his lack of defensive capabilities.

However, Alfaro's time in Boston can be best summarized as a "what if"
storyline. The 30-year-old was limited to eight games, when he hit .118
(2-for-17) with a .368 OPS to pair with putrid defense.

Now the Cubs will have a chance to optimize his rare combination of power and
athleticism as he attempts to make the roster in the spring. Best of luck to a
player with some of the best hair in the game.
