Free agent infielder Eduardo Nunez has been in contact with at least eight teams, including the Red Sox, according to a source who said his market is picking up steam now that he’s been medically cleared for workouts.
Doctors have declared Nunez’s right knee to be back to full health, and he recently worked out for the Red Sox in the Dominican Republic. If they re-signed him, the Red Sox presumably would use Nunez at second base until Dustin Pedroia returns from surgery, at which point Nunez would see time all over the diamond.
Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski confirmed Nunez worked out for the team.
