No, it isn’t the BMX guy.
The Boston Red Sox have signed left-handed pitcher Matt Hoffman, a source told MLB Daily Dish’s Chris Cotillo. Full Circle Sports Management confirmed the signing Monday via its Twitter account.

Hoffman, originally drafted by the Detroit Tigers in 2007, has yet to appear in a major league game. The 26-year-old worked his way up to the Triple-A level while in the Tigers organization and then spent last season in the Philadelphia Phillies and Minnesota Twins organizations.
Hoffman, who has been exclusively a reliever the last five seasons, posted a 3.75 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP over 48 innings split between Double-A and Triple-A in 2014. The lefty owns a 3.88 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 1.99 strikeout-to-walk ratio over parts of seven minor league seasons.
