Marcelo Mayer was in the building Thursday.

The 2021 fourth overall pick, whom the Red Sox reportedly signed to a $6.6 million slot-value contract, visited Fenway Park and got the full experience. He took batting practice swings, met with Boston manager Alex Cora, checked out the Green Monster and spoke to members of the media.

The Red Sox have not announced where Mayer will begin his professional career.
