Might be a fit: The #RedSox have designated outfielder/first baseman Mike Carp for assignment, Alex Speier of WEEI reports on Twitter. The move was made as the team juggles its roster after yesterday’s trades. Carp, 28, has only a .198/.320/.279 slash in 103 scattered plate appearances on the year. Last year, though, he was a revelation, slashing .296/.362/.523 with nine home runs in 243 turns at bat. A fairly versatile option with at least two seasons of above-average production and pop already in the books, the left-handed hitter figures to draw a look from contenders. Clubs like the #Royals and #Reds have been said to have interest in such a player, and failed to make any moves at yesterday’s trade deadline. He will need to pass through waivers in order to be moved. Carp is playing on a $1.4MM annual salary in his first year of arbitration eligibility. 8/1/2014 via MLBTradeRumors
