Red Sox reach agreement to sign free-agent Eduardo Nunez

The Boston Red Sox have an agreement to sign free-agent utilityman Eduardo Nunez, a source told ESPN's Buster Olney.

The deal is pending the results of a physical -- no certainty, given Nunez's ailments last season.

The final image of Nunez in 2017 was getting carried off the field after reinjuring his knee in Game 1 of the Division Series against the Astros.

Before that, though, the right-handed-hitting utilityman made a strong salary push by slashing .321/.353/.539 with eight homers in 165 at-bats after getting traded to the Red Sox in July.
