Bradley, 30, has spent his entire eight-year career with the Boston Red Sox, helping the team win the World Series in 2018. A speedy centerfielder, he won a Gold Glove award in 2018 and was named ALCS MVP that year.

Last season, Bradley had one of his best seasons at the plate, hitting .283/.364/.450 with seven home runs and a career-low strikeout rate of just 22.1 per cent.
