Nathaniel Lowe, a member of the Rangers’ 2023 World Series team who was traded to Washington before this season in exchange for reliever Robert Garcia, is finalizing a deal with the Red Sox, according to multiple reports on Sunday night.

He’s Nathaniel Lowe, recently of the Washington Nationals and quite possibly the only American to go by Nathanial since approximately 1872. In fact, he actually went by Nate early in his career, changing it back to his birth name only after his mama yelled at him.

Boston’s new first baseman isn’t in Monday’s Red Sox lineup, which has a newly returned player in the leadoff spot.
