Plawecki signed with the Red Sox in January
The Boston Red Sox reportedly are keeping one of their catchers around.
According to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman and MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, Kevin Plawecki and the Red Sox avoided arbitration Wednesday and settled for $1.6 million.
Boston signed the catcher to a one-year deal in January and provided depth for Christian Vazquez.
The 29-year-old appeared in 24 games during the shortened 2020 Major League Baseball season and hit .341 with a home run and 17 RBIs.
