The Boston Red Sox have trade Josh Reddick, Miles Head, and Raul Alcantara to the Athletics for Andrew Bailey and Ryan Sweeney.
The Red Sox acquired one of the best relievers on the market, along with a backup outfielder who still has potential. They gave up 2 good prospects for him and a major league ready young player in Reddick. They didn't have to dish out their top prospects. The Red Sox got what they wanted without giving up any high ranking prospects.
The Athletics continue to dismantle their team for young players. Reddick will immediately contribute this year for the Athletics while the other two acquired in the deal have some years ahead of them in minor league play. They got good prospects for a reliever, and about the biggest package you can get for a reliever.
Overall Verdict: Tied
Both teams seem to of gotten what they wanted. The A's get some good prospects and give Reddick a chance to start everyday while the Red Sox got one of the best relievers out there.
