Early results to our latest
FenwayNation Poll show that a plurality of readers (46%) want the Red Sox to acquire old friend
Jed Lowrie to serve as a "back-up/platoon" option with
Dustin Pedroia at 2B in 2019. As the chart shows, the next highest choice (34%) cites a preference to use
existing roster options to back-up Pedroia. Some of those would be:
Brock Holt,
Marco Hernandez,
Tony Renda,
Eduardo Nunez and
Tzu-Wei Lin. The survey also found that 12% would rather go after
Daniel Murphy for the back-up 2B role on the team. Just 4% would opt to pursue free-agent 2B
D. J. LeMahieu to back-up
The Muddy Chicken—with the same percentage (4%) looking for
another free agent/trade option beyond those listed in the poll. You can still vote in the poll
