Will Red Sox call up Wellesley favorite Nate Freiman on Sept. 1?
It might be time to launch the Bring up Big Nate campaign, in hopes of getting the Red Sox to call up Wellesley High & Little League alum Nate Freiman when major league baseball rosters expand on Sept. 1.
The 29-year-old Freiman has been playing for Red Sox AA affiliate Portland this season, and just hit a walk-off homer to win a game for the Sea Dogs last week (see video below). The 6-8 right-handed hitter has 10 homers this season.
Freiman made it to the major leagues in 2013, playing in more than 100 games for the Oakland A’s in 2013-2014.
