FORT MYERS — For those of you who long for the Red Sox to make a big splash and send a powerful message to the New York Yankees that they mean business in what is expected to be a rough-and-tumble fight for American League East supremacy, Dave Dombrowski has listened and acted.
Eduardo Nunez is coming back to town.
When last we saw Nunez, the veteran infielder was buckled over at home plate in Game 1 of last fall’s Division Series. The Red Sox had tried to rush Nunez and his crunched-up right knee back to action, but it proved to be a disastrous decision when one swing of the bat produced a stunning fall to the dirt.
