Red Sox Consider Waiver Claim for First Base Help | JQJO

The Boston Red Sox's first base position is a weakness, currently ranked 24th in the league in wRC+. Following Triston Casas's injury, Romy Gonzalez and Abraham Toro have struggled. The Red Sox explored trade options at the deadline but failed to acquire help. Now, former All-Star Nathaniel Lowe, designated for assignment by the Washington Nationals, is available on waivers. Lowe, despite a subpar overall season, has shown effectiveness against right-handed pitching, a potential upgrade over the Red Sox's current options. However, the Yankees and Rangers, ahead of Boston in waiver priority, might also claim him.
