Alfaro, who signed a minor-league deal with Boston in late January, was released by the Red Sox earlier this month. The 30-year-old made a case for a big league roster spot across two productive months in Triple-A, but he exercised his opt-out clause June 1 after Boston elected to move forward with the catching tandem of Connor Wong and Reese McGuire. Exactly a week after his Red Sox release, Alfaro joined the Rockies organization on a minor-league deal, per the club’s transaction wire. It’s easy to ..read more
