A World Series champion is on his way to Fenway.

The Boston Red Sox have agreed to a four-year, $58 million contract with first basemen with former Milwaukee Brewers first basemen Jake Bauers, according to ESPN’s Jeff Pasan.

Bauers’ bat will bolster a Red Sox lineup that was in need of stronger offense last season.

The 31-year-old infielder finished second in the National League last season with a .389 on-base percentage and was a key reason the Brewers marched to their first-ever World Series title last month, even garnering NLCS MVP honors.
