A series of roster moves announced by the Boston Red Sox on Monday included the news that infielder Eduardo Nunez has been designated for assignment.
While this decision was a bit unexpected, we really shouldn’t be all that surprised. Nunez has been one of the worst position players in baseball this season. His -1.3 WAR is next to last in the American League and his .548 OPS places him above only three hitters with 150+ at-bats.
Nunez has spent time at three infield positions but is no longer capable of fielding any of them particularly well.
