Sandoval benched by Red Sox, who give Shaw third-base job (Yahoo Sports)

Pablo Sandoval has become a $95 million bench player. The Boston Red Sox announced before their final spring training game Thursday that Travis Shaw, a 25-year-old who made his big league debut last May, will be their starting third baseman. Sandoval missed spring training games due to back soreness after he dove for a ball on March 22 off the bat of the Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton.
