Shane Victorino has agreed to a three-year, $39 million deal with the Boston Red Sox, pending a physical, according to reports.
The figures of the deal are the same as the one the Red Sox agreed to with Mike Napoli on Monday.
Victorino started last season with the Philadelphia Phillies before being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers just before the July 31 trade deadline. The "Flyin’ Hawaiian" had a down year, hitting .255 with 11 home runs and 55 RBIs.
After playing center field most of his career in Philadelphia, Victorino played left field in 48 of his 53 games with the Dodgers. The switch hitter will play right field alongside an outfield consisting of Jacoby Ellsbury and Jonny Gomes.
