Red Sox busy with minor league moves

The minor league free agent season is in full swing now that the Rule 5 Draft has passed, and the Red Sox were busy making the following moves this weekend:

• Non-tendered Brian Anderson.
• Re-signed Fernando Cabrera and Gil Velazquez to minor league deals.
• Signed minor league free agents Bob McCrory, Edwin Moreno, Angel Sanchez, and Darnell McDonald.
• Released Jason Blackey, John Otness, Sean Danielson, and Jered Stanley.
• Sent Chris Province to Minnesota to complete an earlier trade for Boof Bonser.
• Signed Bonser to a one-year, $650,000 deal, avoiding arbitration with the big right-hander.

Baseball America first reported some of these transactions, and also reported Saturday that former Sox minor-leaguers Enrique Gonzalez and Travis Denker have signed minor leagues deals with Detroit and Seattle, respectively. Additionally, our sources indicate that Boston recently released pitcher Miguel Marquez, who had been selected from Seattle in the Triple-A phase of the 2008 Rule 5 Draft. Marquez missed the entire 2009 season with an injury and never made an appearance in the Sox system.
