Red Sox Sign Infielder Vinny Capra to Minor-League Deal

The versatile 29-year-old profiles as organizational depth rather than an Opening Day roster candidate.

Overview

The transaction was recorded on MLB’s official tracker and reported by multiple outlets on Nov. 28.
Capra offers flexibility across second base, third base and shortstop with occasional outfield experience.
He appeared in 47 MLB games in 2025 between the Brewers and White Sox, hitting .125/.157/.177 over 105 plate appearances.
He posted stronger results at Triple-A Charlotte in 2025 (.286/.384/.440) and owns a .272/.368/.389 career line at the level.
Boston’s infield mix led by Trevor Story and Marcelo Mayer limits near-term MLB opportunity for Capra, and some reports presume a spring invite that has not been confirmed.
