New York Mets – Addison Reed is headed to the Red Sox, pending medical evaluation, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. Joel Sherman has also confirmed. AJ Ramos takes over as closer for the Mets.
Updated hierarchy: Ramos | Blevins | Sewald.
Boston Red Sox – Addison Reed fills a big need for the Red Sox, who have struggled to bridge the gap to Craig Kimbrel on several occasions this year (including last night). Reed still retains a good deal of value in Holds leagues, as he’s likely to rack up 8th inning chances in Boston.
Updated hierarchy: Kimbrel | Reed | Barnes.
