Red Sox: What if Boston never traded for Eduardo Nunez?

Verdict?

It’s safe to say that the Red Sox got Nunez at a relatively low cost. There’s no saying how good Nunez can be in 2017 and if the stars align the right way, there’s a chance that he might want to stay in Boston. Who wouldn’t want to stay in Beantown with the rookies coming up over the next couple years?

After starting the season off with a few question marks, it looks like the Red Sox have finally found one of the missing pieces to their puzzle. That feeling of a long and dreadful infielder situation has quickly dissipated. Nunez was just what Boston needed to turn the page and start making their run towards the postseason.

Prior to the season, the Red Sox and Houston Astros were the favorites and after the All-Star break, these two teams once again look like the two best squads in the league.
