It’s difficult to categorize a free agent signing meant to provide depth in the infield as a failure. That doesn’t mean some don’t think of Eduardo Nunez in that way. He has not had the greatest 2018 and that’s a big reason why the Boston Red Sox are looking at infielders like Jed Lowrie as potential trade targets.
Nunez, who was brilliant after being traded to the Red Sox last summer, has actually been a negative for the team this year, registering a wins above replacement mark of -0.3 in fWAR and -1.
