BOSTON -- The Red Sox added the impact bullpen arm they've been searching for, completing a trade with the Mets on Monday for righty Addison Reed in exchange for three pitching prospects.
The deal was finalized less than an hour before the 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline.
The move comes on the heels of Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski getting a right-handed bat with plenty of defensive versatility last week in Eduardo Nunez, who has made an instant impact with Boston.
Reed has served as the Mets' closer for most of the season, filling in for the injured Jeurys Familia.
