Nathaniel Lowe Designated for Assignment by Boston
The Boston Red Sox announced on Tuesday that they designated first baseman Nathaniel Lowe for assignment after acquiring infielder Tristan Gray from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for minor-league right-hander Luis Guerrero. Lowe began the 2025 campaign playing for the Washington Nationals, where he hit just .216/.292/.373 with a career-low .665 OPS, 16 home runs, 68 RBI, 50 runs scored, and a 130:47 K:BB in 119 games played. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger finished up the year in Boston, where he went 28-for-100 (.280) with two bombs, 16 RBI, and 14 runs scored in 34 regular-season contests. Lowe should attract some interest on the free-agent market this winter as a left-handed power bat, but in a best-case scenario, he'll probably be a platoon power bat at first base/designated hitter wherever he ends up. Lowe's best season came in Texas in 2022, when he hit 27 homers and drove in 76 in 157 games.
