The New York Mets added to their minor league depth on Saturday with the signing of veteran infielder Eduardo Nunez. Only two years removed from being a .300 hitter, Nunez hasn’t exactly been the same in his last two seasons with the Boston Red Sox.
The odds are against Nunez when it comes to seeing big league action in 2020. He has played a whole lot of second base and third base in recent years—two spots where the Mets have plenty of options at the big league level.
In case of an emergency, however, Nunez could fill in at shortstop.
