Mets acquire Addison Reed in trade with Diamondbacks
Seeking relief help for the stretch run, the Mets have acquired right-hander Addison Reed from the Diamondbacks, per reports.
The Mets will reportedly send prospects Matt Koch and Isan Diaz to Arizona.
Reed, 26, was the Diamondbacks’ closer at the beginning of 2015, but a 6.49 ERA through his first 25 appearances on the season prompted a demotion to the minors. He was recalled on July 29 and has been lights out since, posting a 1.65 ERA.

Even during his struggles, Reed has virtually eliminated the long ball. He has allowed just two all season.
Reed has 104 career saves.
Thoughts:
For the Mets, this move is a case of “why not?”
