Eduardo Nunez
A criminally underrated player for most of his career, Eduardo Nunez would be a sneakily great pickup for the Red Sox.

With the San Francisco Giants on pace for 100 losses this season, it’s already looking like the team will be sellers.
Nunez will be an under-the-radar name to watch at the deadline, even though his stats speak for themselves.
The 30-year-old is hitting .299 with 17 stolen bases on the year.
Of course, he’s never been a power hitter, as evident by his four home runs and 25 RBI this season.
In a lineup that features plenty of pop, the Red Sox won’t need him to be a power bat.
His consistency at the plate is something any team would love to have.
Best of all for the Red Sox, though, is the fact that Nunez can also play shortstop and the outfield, too.

He’s a bargain as well at a low cost of just $4.2 million for this season.
Your move, Boston.
