Season NUT is one number for production against that season's league average: 0.0 is average, and defense is left out. The roster lists every player who reached the 2002 qualifying bar (100 plate appearances or 25 innings). Team NUT adds those players up. A player traded during the season appears once, with his full-season line, under the club MLB lists him with. Each season is measured against its own league, so a 2002 club and a 2025 club sit on one scale.
The 2002 Boston Red Sox went 93-69, the 5th-best record of 14 clubs in the AL. Their team NUT of +21.0 ranked #2 of 30 clubs that season and #42 of 3,085 club seasons since 1876: +11.1 from the hitters, +9.9 from the pitchers.
