SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — While a Tim Anderson return to the Sox on a deal at a smaller price than the $14 million option the club declined isn’t out of the question, a change of scenery for and former batting champion and All-Star shortstop is far and away most likely.
Having Colson Montgomery, who will likely start the season at Triple-A Charlotte but could get called up this season, as the heir apparent to a most important position made the Sox’ decision on Anderson, who is a free agent, a bit easier.
