I, like many of you reading this, have been of the belief that the Red Sox should be looking for a second baseman ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. They have gotten virtually no production from that position, and while Brock Holt has shown flashes this year and Eduardo Núñez is heating up at the plate, neither are guys you want playing every day in an ideal scenario. That’s not even mentioning that both are below-average with the glove at the keystone position, and for Núñez that’s probably being kind.
Despite all of that, it hasn’t seemed as if the Red Sox were all that interested in adding to the position.
