Latches on with BoSox
Eaton signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Wednesday and received an invitation to spring training, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Eaton spent the entirety of last season with the Royals' Triple-A affiliate, where he slashed .252/.299/.439 with 16 homers and 59 RBI across 460 plate appearances. A career .201 hitter in the majors, Eaton is unlikely to break camp with the big-league squad and will presumably spend most of the year at Triple-A Worcester.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
With 11 steals in 44 major-league games, Eaton's speed is the most interesting thing about him. Where he plays in the Royals' defensive structure is yet to be determined, but his .264/.331/.387 slash line across 122 plate appearances last year would suggest he deserves a longer look in a relatively uninspiring lineup if he can repeat it. A natural outfielder, he'd probably be best suited to challenge Edward Olivares in right field or push MJ Melendez from left field to catcher to begin 2023. Eaton's also played on the left side of the infield -- third base is likely up for grabs. He hit 13 home runs and added 23 steals in 91 minor-league contests last year, but his power didn't come up from Triple-A when he became a regular for the Royals late in the season. His 24.6 percent strikeout rate and 8.6 walk rate in the majors are already passable, so Eaton looks like he could have some sleeper potential in fantasy as a reliable source of speed.

Making case for next year
Eaton has swiped five bags, in addition to hitting .381, across his past seven games.
ANALYSIS
Eaton has recorded a .274/.344/.393 slash line through 96 at-bats with Kansas City this season. He has also stolen 10 bases. The 25-year-old slashed a similarly encouraging .285/.358/.465 at Triple-A this season, and his late activity on the basepaths could put him in the Royals' outfield plans for 2023.
