    The Boston Red Sox agreed with Hanley Ramirez on Monday on a four-year, $88 million deal with a vesting fifth year for an additional $22 million, according to a major league source.

    Ramirez, who will turn 31 on Dec. 23, has primarily played shortstop throughout his 10-year career but has also told teams he would be willing to change positions.

    Ramirez was originally projected as a fall-back plan for the Red Sox in the event they were unable to sign the switch-hitting Pablo Sandoval. The Red Sox and Sandoval reached agreement on Monday, sources told ESPN, after choosing among offers from the Red Sox, San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres. All three offers were believed to be for five years and at least $90 million.
