Red Sox acquire third baseman Eduardo Nunez from Giants

On the day Rafael Devers made his major league debut, the Red Sox added another piece to help them at the hot corner and potentially elsewhere. The Sox and the San Francisco Giants struck a deal that sends third baseman and utility man Eduardo Nunez to the Red Sox in exchange for minor league righties Shaun Anderson and Gregory Santos. Nunez, a 30-year-old from the Dominican Republic, could prove a versatile bench piece, particularly as Xander Bogaerts and Brock Holt both struggle.
