Red Sox Acquire Addison Reed

By Jeff Todd | July 31, 2017 at 3:30pm CDT

The Red Sox found a bullpen upgrade on deadline day, adding righty Addison Reed from the Mets. Young righties Gerson Bautista, Jamie Callahan, and Stephen Nogosek will head to New York in return. Boston transferred infielder Josh Rutledge to the 60-day DL to create roster space.

"Jul

If the move is finalized, Boston would add perhaps the top rental reliever on this year’s market. Reed, who is earning $7.75MM before hitting free agency, would surely become the Sox’ top setup man for closer Craig Kimbrel. Boston will take on all of the remaining $2.6MM or so in salary, per Ken Rosenthal of MLB Network (via Twitter).

Of course, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski had hoped that it wouldn’t be necessary to acquire such a pitcher during the season. Two recent trade acquisitions — Carson Smith and Tyler Thornburg — were expected to be back in action by this point. At this stage, though, Boston won’t be counting on a contribution from either.

Reed came to New York in a mid-season trade back in 2015, but that one took place at the end of August — reflecting his standing at the time. He became a pleasant surprise that blossomed into quite a bit more for the Mets, who tendered him contracts for the ensuing two campaigns.

All told, the 28-year-old has provided the Mets with 142 innings of 2.09 ERA ball, backed by 9.9 K/9 and 1.5 BB/9. Though he hasn’t run up quite as many strikeouts this year as last, Reed is actually generating swinging strikes at a better clip (12.6%). And the former White Sox and D-Backs closer slid into that role again when Jeurys Familia went down, providing New York with 19 saves.

For the Mets, the deal offered a chance to get three fresh arms into a system that has graduated or traded away quite a bit of pitching in recent years. All three of the newly added hurlers rated among Boston’s top thirty prospects in MLB.com’s most recent ranking, though all profile as future relievers. Among them, Callahan is the most advanced: he’s pitching at Triple-A Pawtucket while the others are still in A ball. Tim Britton of the Providence Journal tweets that Nogosek, last year’s sixth-round pick, could be something of a quick riser through the system given his experience as a closer in college.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported the deal (Twitter links), with Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports (via Twitter) saying it was for three prospects and MLB.com’s Jonathan Mayo (Twitter links) and Alex Speier of the Boston Globe (via Twitter) naming them.

          He lost on 2 trades. A low percentage. 2 guys out of all the traded he made turned to anything. Well, likely 3 now as willy adames will be solid. Still low loss percentage

          But he actually didn’t even lose on the adames trade as he got David price in return, who the tigers traded away for Daniel norris, Matt boyd, and jairo labourt. It’s not a loss at this point. Daniel norris has a lot of potential and i think is a minimum of a number 3 when he puts it together. Boyd is a 4/5 starter. Labourt is pitching well in AA and will get a look in spring to join the major league pen.

          DD has lost 2 trades in detroit….out all the ones he made

        the mets could realistically have a good year next year. granted these are big ifs but if their rotation returns to health and form, and if they spend some money this winter on some bats they will be right there. The problem is the Nats are the class of the division even with all of those ifs coming true.

      Not sure how jealously plays into this situation. Mets’ season is over. They’re retooling for the future, dumping players who won’t be here next year, and clearing spaces for AAA players who should have been in the majors already. I understand you might not like the Mets but your reasoning has no basis in fact.

      This is such an ignorant comment. The Mets are only dropping expiring contracts – they can still sign Reed as a FA for next year if they want to. They are only improving themselves for the future with these deals because they will not be able to catch a Wild Card with all the injuries.

        The price of relievers at the deadline is usually outrageous. This return feels kinda underwhelming (not a Met fan or anything, neutral observer). Justin Wilson pulled 2 prospects a lot better than anyone the Mets got here, and I know he’s got an extra year, but I expected a better centerpiece than Gerson Bautista

          I’m just saying the Red Sox aren’t trading Mat he is an 18 year old who is doing really well in the Sally League. Everyone thinks that the returns for rental relievers is going to be really high because of Chapman last year. That was a one off for a team that had a very specific need to put them over the top. Cashman held here feet to the fire he had all the cards last year thats why he got a really good return. It is just going back to what reality is on rental relievers. I think the Mets did all right Nogosek is probably the highest ranked guy in the trade.

          I estimate that Reed’s replacement/s will accumulate 5-8 blown saves from now until the end of the year, compared to Reed’s 1-2.

          -1 net impact from wins after blown saves

          3-5 additional losses.

    I have to imagine the Mets want Michael Chavis and some AAA BP arms. Then again, given this historically buyer’s market, the Mets may not be able to get that this season.

    You know something is wrong when Reed (a rental) only gets a little worse than what the Padres were being offered for hand

      Hope they do and also trade Cabrera. I’d be a little surprised if Grandy was dealt today but would not be surprised at all if he’s dealt in August.

        Does Cabrera have any value whatsoever? Crotchety below-average vet with a rapidly cratering skill set..

        I would just as soon dump him for nothing.

        I actually thought there would be some interest in Grandy. Veteran and good presence who can play all outfield positions. I didn’t expect much in return but thought teams would see him as a cheap addition

        Yes he is. I can’t figure out why teams are pulling back on every day power hitting good performing players. Bruce should be worth a good amount to a playoff seeking team that needs a solid RF’er – or 1B/DH.

    So the Mets traded Lucas Duda and Addison Reed and every prospect they got back in return was ranked lower than what they gave up for A.J. Ramos.

    Talk about bad optics.

      You can’t look at trades without context.

      The Mets traded away 2 months of Lucas Duda and Addison Reed in a non-competitive season.

        2 month rentals usually do so much better. This website has pages and pages of historical evidence.

        The Mets gave up more for Kelly Johnson and Juan Uribe than the Red Sox did for Addison Reed. That’s crazy.

          I will give you that… Not sure what it is about the market this year, but it seems off in some way.

          The idea of the 2015 Fulmer/Cespedes swap just seems insane nowadays.

      Both Duda and Reed were in their walk year, hence they could be rentals for the Rays and the Red Sox., Ramos is under control for another year hence why you pay more..

    MLB midseason prospects has the following regarding where they were in the Red Sox organization:
    18 (previously 24) Nogosek
    23 (previously NR) Callahan
    28 (previously 17) Bautista

    All three are relievers.

    I knew there was no way DD was trading Chavis, Groome or any other top prospect 10 to 15 prospect for what could be a 2 month rental. The Sox have Joe Kelly back sometime this week and they expect Carson Smith in mid to late August plus their bull pen has been very good this year.
    I think they need a power bat like Jay Bruce but they probably don’t want to trade any more prospects. Moreland has a broken toe so that additional bat would help. The Nunez trade looks like it’s going to be a very good trade as well. I can’t believe the little guy hit 2 HR’s on Saturday. That’s not usually what he does. 20 year old Rafael Devers hit another HR as well but expecting a player that young to add that additional power is very risky. Should be interesting.

    I wonder if Dave D offered the Mets 5 prospects and was talked down to 3. Three top 30 prospects for a rental? Of course he traded a regular AND 3 prospects for one reliever last year. Is the next move a backup catcher for 2 more top 30 prospects?

    Say what you want about Cherington, he built up a farm system. Dave D’s job is to apparently give prospects away like they’re candy

    Bigger picture, combined with the Ramos deal, this is another organizational talent downgrade year over year (in the bullpen and at the minor league level) to save a few bucks. Ramos isn’t as good as Reed, and the 3 minor leaguers they got here don’t compensate for the 2 they sent out for Ramos. Yes, Reed is a FA and Ramos in his last Arb year, but that doesn’t make the Mets next year at either level. If Bruce and Grandy aren’t traded, it’s has to be because the Wilpons are still priortizing unloading the salary vs getting something back (still surprising they can’t find a taker). They screwed up on Caberra as well (interest dried up while they waited). Maybe they believe these guys will clear waivers.

        Because they all would have some value to multiple contenders. Bruce is easy. He’s on pace to hit 40 HRs and playing a decent RF (also some first). He’s a rental but those kind of players are always desired by at least a few contenders to the point they’d give up something of value. But some of those teams can’t add salary (at least not 4.5 mm for the last 2 months).

        Who would you rather have Bruce or Duda (both rentals)? Most would say Bruce. Mets got something for Duda because he only cost 1.3 mm for the last 2 months. Yet, Bruce, the better more versitile player (and better fit for Tampa), can’t bring back anything? What other reason can there be?

      As a Mets fan I like it too. The last trade between Alderson and Dombrowski worked out for both sides: Cespedes for Fulmer. Cespedes brought the Mets to the series, and Fulmer is proving to be a fine pitcher in Detroit.

      Who is trading for Montero? At this point, just run him out there for rest of season, if he can’t show something he is getting DFA’d.

      I don’t see anyone offering anything for Reyes. It probably makes more sense to hold onto him at this point, while in one sense the season is over, they do have to run a lineup out there for another 60 games.

      Walker and Granderson I would think will definitely clear waivers, probably Bruce as well, so the urgency isn’t really there.

      Two months ago I’d have thought that Cabrera might return something useful, but I don’t really see that anymore.

      It is just typical of Mets luck that the season that they find themselves needing to sell is the season where there is just no market for buyers. Last season Reed would have returned a top 50 overall prospect.

    2 of the 3 prospects in the Reed trade will have to be exposed to the rule 5 draft in Dec.
    The Red Sox just lost Ysla because they did not have a spot on the 40 man roster. With prospects you use them or lose them. That’s why the white sox are now asking for younger guys further away from rule 5 status.

      Different season. Cubs had a loaded system, and were all in on winning after a century plus of losing. Cleveland was desperate as well. That’s why Cashman sold off at a time when the Yankees were still in contention, the offers were just too good. That just isnt the market this year.

    Addison Reed is far from Chapman. That’s not even close. Chapman helped the the Cubs win the WS as one of the best closers of his era. Addison Reed is having a good year and he has been productive but I’m not sure how you would compare him to Chapman or Kimbrel or any other elite closer.

    Gotta love the pickup he will slot in as the 8th inning guy and with Kelly coming back this will make the Red Sox one of the most formidable bullpens in baseball. The elephant in the room is if Carson Smith comes back effectively this year if he comes back like before the injury he will be the best addition of all the moves to the bullpen and make the Red Sox as good as anybody in baseball in the pen. I know it’s a big if but Carson Smith was truly elite before the injury with the deadly combination of strikeouts and ridiculously high ground ball rate.
