Gonzalez hit .284 with a .316 OBP and .453 slugging mark in 44 games for the Sox. FoxSports.com was first to report the signing.
 
The Boston Herald, meanwhile, is reporting that the Red Sox are "at or near the top" of the list of preferred destinations for Marco Scutaro, rg. according to Scutaro's agent, Peter Greenberg. Scutaro, who played shortstop for the Blue Jays in 2009, is believed to be seeking a three-year deal.

David Krejci lofted a back-hand shot past Niklas Backstrom in the fourth-round of the shootout lifting the Bruins to a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild Wednesday night. Tuuka Rask had to make a final save on Chuck Kobasew to secure the victory which completed a perfect 4-0 road trip for the Bruins, with Rask in goal for all four wins. The victory moved Boston into first place in the Northeast Division. It may have also come with a cost however, as Milan Lucic left the game late in the third period with an apparent knee injury.
