"Doctors have declared Eduardo Nunez’s right knee to be back to full health, and he recently worked out for the Red Sox in the Dominican Republic."
The Mets, "...Red Sox, Jays, Yankees, Giants, Brewers, Braves and Royals also have shown varying amounts of interest in Nunez"
I would love it if the Sox can retain Nunez at a reasonable price. I was initially afraid he would get a 3-year offer at 9-11M AAV to start for some team, but with the way the market has been, it seems possible he'll get just 2 years and somewhere between 6-8M AAV (Howie Kendrick just got 2 x 3.5M). If I had to guess, Nunez would probably accept an offer from the Sox if it is at least close to the top offer he receives. He seemed to love it here last year, the Sox are a contender, and he'd be able to start at 2B for the beginning of the year (pending Pedroia situation).
I realize most people would like Marco Hernandez to get time at 2B, but my philosophy is: Would you rather have Marco Hernandez? Or would you rather have Marco Hernandez & Eduardo Nunez? Depth is key and guys constantly get hurt, so I'd prefer to start with Nunez and have Hernandez stashed in AAA with Lin. Nunez also brings SB ability off the bench.
From a clubhouse perspective, he seemed to bring a lot of energy and even had some clashes with the Yankees. Keeping him and Moreland would give the 2018 clubhouse a feeling of "unfinished business" from last year's team. Of course, the "clubhouse presence" part of his value isn't measurable, but it does seem real.
