The Red Sox have acquired third baseman Eduardo Nunez in a trade with the Giants, according to reports.

The 30-year-old has been with the Giants since being traded to the club last season. In return, the Red Sox will send two pitching prospects to San Francisco, reports say.

The Red Sox hope that Nunez, who is batting .308 with four home runs, 31 RBIs and 18 steals this season, will help fill the hole Boston has had all season at third base.
