Mets Acquire Addison Reed

The Mets announced tonight that they have acquired reliever RHP Addison Reed from the Arizona Diamondbacks pending a physical. Reed, 26. has posted a 4.20 ERA this season with a WHIP of 1.50 along with 3 saves and 8 holds. He has fared much better against left-handed batters holding them to an average of only .242 and an OPS of .672. He has much worst numbers against RHP with a .310 batting average and an OPS of .832. I think that this was a good move by Sandy Alderson. He needed to acquire another arm in the bullpen along in addition to Tyler Clippard and Jeurys Familia. Hopefully Reed can be a viable option in the 7th inning that the Mets have been looking for and help get the ball to Clippard and Familia at the end of a game and help secure a win.
