The Red Sox made a big move on Monday, cutting (essentially) a player who has been a key player on their roster for the last two calendar years. Obviously, I’m referring to the team designating Eduardo Núñez for assignment on Monday. From a purely baseball perspective, as I say in the linked post, it’s hard to argue against this move. Núñez has offered the team next to nothing for the majority of the last two seasons, and in 2019 specifically he’s produced even less than that somehow. To be fair to many readers of this very site, a lot of people saw this coming.
