The Mets have traded closer Addison Reed to the Boston Red Sox in return for three minor-league pitchers, Jamie Callahan, Gerson Bautista and Stephen Nogosek.
Reed is the second domino to fall after the Mets traded Lucas Duda to Tampa Bay for minor-league reliever Drew Smith.

At first glance, seems like a good haul for the Mets. Prospect Industrial Complex sure to be upset.

Nogosek: No. 18, A righty reliever
Callahan: No. 23, AAA righty reliever
Bautista: No. 28, A righty reliever

All of baseball is regarding relievers higher than ever, so Sandy goes out and gets 4 hard throwing relief prospects.
