Has upward mobility clause
Goodrum has an upward mobility clause in his minor-league contract with the Red Sox which would allow him to sign a major-league deal elsewhere if Boston doesn't plan to have him on the Opening Day roster, Ian Cundall of SoxProspects.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's worth noting is that Goodrum has an option remaining, so the Red Sox could conceivably add him to the 40-man roster but stick him at Triple-A Worcester to begin the season if he doesn't get an offer from another club. Goodrum has a career .688 OPS over parts of six major-league seasons.

Stat Review
How does Niko Goodrum compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Goodrum had his 2021 season derailed by both calf and groin injuries, which limited him to just 325 plate appearances. Even when he was on the field, Goodrum struggled to make a meaningful impact in large part due to a 33 K% and .292 on-base percentage. The end result was an unceremonious end to Goodrum's tenure in Detroit when he was outrighted off the 40-man roster in mid-November. His potential to latch on elsewhere is in question due to his lack of plate skills. Even so, his ability to be both versatile - he played at least one game at five different positions in 2021 - and capable (86th percentile outs above average) with the glove could make him an attractive option for a club to add on a veteran minimum or minor-league deal. If he can find a semi-regular role, Goodrum still shows some power potential (10.3% barrel rate in 2021) and plenty of speed (85th percentile sprint speed). He signed a one-year deal with Houston could be in the mix at shortstop should Carlos Correa sign elsewhere, though Jeremy Pena is the favorite to start to open spring training.
