BOSTON — Outfielder Mike Cameron has signed a two-year contract with the Boston Red Sox.

The three-time Gold Glove winner was introduced at a morning news conference on Wednesday. The deal for the free agent is worth a reported $7 million to $8 million a season. The team also scheduled a 1:30 p.m. news conference with right-hander John Lackey, the top pitcher on the free agent market. Lackey agreed to a five-year deal worth $16 million to $17.5 million a season.
Cameron, who batted .250 with 24 homers and 70 RBIs for Milwaukee last year, could replace left fielder Jason Bay in the outfield if Bay, a free agent, signs elsewhere as expected. Cameron played only center field for the Brewers last season.
