The Red Sox put an end to a disastrous episode when they designate 3B Pablo Sandoval for assignment. Signed to a $95 million five-year contract before the 2015 season, he played only 161 games over two and a half seasons, with little production. Boston’s decision leaves them on the hook for over $48 million, the second largest buy-out in major league history.
