Looks like the Sox are going to the bargain bin with this one.
Snow, a 37-year-old first baseman who spent the past nine seasons with San Francisco, is likely to share playing time with Kevin Youkilis. A career .268 hitter and known for good defense, Snow also has played for the California Angels and New York Yankees in 14 major league seasons.
His best offensive season came in 1997, his first year with the Giants, when he hit .281 with 28 home runs and 104 RBIs.
Snow's deal, which was first reported by ESPN.com, does not contain any provisions for performance bonuses.
Red Sox spokesman Peter Chase said the team had no official comment on Snow. AP Baseball Writer Ronald Blum in New York contributed to this report.
