Red Sox Acquire 3B Curtis Mead from Nationals for LHP Connelly Early
Boston addresses a third-base need ahead of the trade deadline, sending a young starter recovering from elbow inflammation to Washington.
The Boston Red Sox and Washington Nationals completed a 1-for-1 trade late Saturday, with Boston receiving third baseman Curtis Mead and Washington getting LHP Connelly Early. Mead is slashing .254/.352/.500, offering a significant upgrade over incumbent Caleb Durbin (.233/.300/.391) at third base. Early is a young, controllable starting pitcher who is recovering from left elbow inflammation. The deal was reported by ESPN's Jeff Passan and positions Boston for a push in the AL wild-card race.
