FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - Not the typical transaction path: cut from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, join the Boston Rex Sox at minor league camp.
But linebacker and would-be outfielder Brandon Magee is a confident enough athlete that he's sought two-sport advice from Bo Jackson.
Magee says Jackson told him to stay humble and outwork everyone else.
Magee participated in Red Sox camp last year but did not play in any games and has yet to play a game this year. He was cut from the Bucs last week and reported to the Red Sox a day later.
He played three seasons with Arizona State and was drafted in the 23rd round of the 2012 draft by Boston. He hit .103 over 27 games across three seasons with the Sun Devils.
Magee says he's at Red Sox camp to try to be successful and make the most of the opportunity.
He says he's not sure whether he'll play baseball or football this year, saying he's taking things day by day.
