First baseman Nathaniel Lowe and the Boston Red Sox are finalizing a deal, sources told ESPN, paving the way for him to join one of the strongest lineups in baseball.
The deal, which will be for a prorated portion of the major league minimum after Lowe was designated for assignment by Washington earlier this month and went unclaimed on waivers, adds a veteran bat to a first-base mix that has been uncertain since Triston Casas' season-ending knee injury in May.
Lowe, 30, had been a consistent presence for the Texas Rangers for the last four seasons, including their World Series championship run in 2023.
