Red Sox’s Alex Cora Praises Eduardo Nuñez As ‘Good Player’ After DFA

Eduardo Nuñez was designated for assignment by the Boston Red Sox on July 15, but Alex Cora knows he was a crucial part to the 2018 World Series team.

Nuñez hit a pinch-hit three-run home run in the seventh inning of Game 1 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, ultimately helping lift Boston to an 8-4 victory.

Cora addressed the media Monday regarding the decision to DFA Nuñez, calling the 32-year-old “a good player.”
