Scott Atchison expects to sign a minor league deal this week, but it will not be with the Red Sox.
The Sox offered Atchison a minor league deal after he was non-tendered, but he most likely would have started the year at Triple-A, which "wasn't really what I had deserved and what I had earned with them in that situation," according to the reliever. Atchison pitched through a torn ulnar collateral ligament late in the year but doesn't expect it to be an issue in 2013.
