Rob Bradford of WEEI.com was told by a major league source that the Red Sox have signed Australian left-hander Daniel McGrath.
McGrath's team, the Doncaster Dragons Baseball Club, originally broke the news via their Twitter account. The Red Sox have since confirmed the signing. We don't have much information on the 17-year-old yet, but he stands at 6-foot-3 and has a fastball clocked at 91 mph. The southpaw is slated to visit Fort Myers during spring training for about a week, but he'll then return to Australia where he won't graduate from high school until December.
