Despite heavy rains throughout the day on Thursday, the Red Sox held a workout at Fenway Park for 24 players whom they drafted but had yet to sign, according to team amateur scouting director Jason McLeod. The workout provides the team with the opportunity both to further get to know and evaluate their draft choices on a personal level, serves as a selling point for the players by exposing them to Fenway and lets club officials see how the draft picks perform against other draft-worthy competition.

Draftees must pay their own way to Boston in order to take part in the event. The Sox have signed 15 of their 50 draft choices, so the turnout of 25 of the remaining 35 selections was considered impressive. This was the second year that the Sox have invited their draftees to come to Boston for the workout.

The Celtics have offered Rasheed Wallace a contract using their mid-level exception, according to Marc Spears of the Boston Globe. The contract was reportedly offered during a three-hour meeting in which Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Doc Rivers, Danny Ainge, and Wyc Grousbeck traveled to Detroit. Wallace did not make a decision.
