The Boston Red Sox have traded infielder Pablo Reyes to the New York Mets, marking the second trade between the two teams in May. The transaction was confirmed by the MLB transaction log and involves cash considerations.
Reyes, who was designated for assignment unexpectedly on April 29, had been playing for the Red Sox’s Triple-A affiliate, the Worcester Red Sox, prior to the trade. His limited playing time with the WooSox prompted the move to send him to a team where he could potentially see more action on the field.
The 30-year-old Reyes had several notable moments during his time with the Red Sox, including a memorable walk-off grand slam against the Kansas City Royals last August. Over the course of his tenure in Boston, he played 85 games and posted a batting line of .260/.312/.335 with two home runs.
Reyes will now join the Mets and compete for playing time in their infield rotation. The move underscores the ongoing relationship between the Red Sox and Mets in recent trade activities, following Zack Short’s brief stint with Boston earlier in the month.
The Red Sox organization expressed appreciation for Reyes’s contributions and wished him well in his future endeavors with the Mets.
