Friday night’s outing for Addison Reed has raised questions about how he’s going to perform down the stretch. Dave Dombrowski traded for Reed to be our set-up man leading to Kimbrel, but so far in his Red Sox career, Reed has not looked impressive.
Reed came into Friday’s game with a three- run lead and was held responsible for four of the Yankees five runs, including a home run by Aaron Hicks, while he failed to record a single out. Reed was supposed to cement the back end of the Red Sox bullpen but has failed to do so.
