Alan Embree rejoins the Red Sox

At 40 and a few seasons removed from a good season, with an injury in the mix, it seems unlikely we'll see Embree up with the Red Sox, but who knows.

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Alan Embree agreed to a minor league contract with the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, returning him to the team he won the 2004 World Series with.

Wearing his familiar No. 43 Red Sox jersey, the left-hander said "It's been a very interesting 48 hours for me."

Embree's 2009 season ended on July 10 when, pitching for the Rockies, he was hit in the right leg by a line drive, breaking his tibia. He had surgery two days later and a titanium rod and three screws were inserted to reinforce the broken bone.
