Mets’ Winning Makes for a Bustling Winter
Coming off their best season in 15 years, the Mets have had no trouble scheduling meetings with teams, agents and players.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/08/sports/baseball/red-sox-acquire-carson-smith-from-mariners.html
Red Sox Acquire Carson Smith From Mariners
"NASHVILLE — The Boston Red Sox
further bolstered their bullpen on Monday, agreeing to a trade with
Seattle for Carson Smith and Roenis Elias. In 70 games with the Mariners
last season, the right-handed Smith had 13 saves and a 2.31 E.R.A.,
with 92 strikeouts in 70 innings. He will serve as a setup man to Craig
Kimbrel, a closer acquired last month from San Diego in return for
prospects, with Elias as a long reliever and insurance for the rotation.
The
Red Sox sent starter Wade Miley and reliever Jonathan Aro to Seattle.
Miley, a left-hander, was 11-11 with a 4.46 E.R.A. for the Red Sox in
the first season of a three-year, $19.25 million contract.
Miley
was expendable because the Red Sox signed starter David Price for seven
years and $217 million last week. The Mariners needed a starter to
replace Hisashi Iwakuma, who has an agreement to sign as a free agent
with the Los Angeles Dodgers.By
acquiring Smith, the Red Sox telegraphed their intention to leave Joe
Kelly in the rotation with Price, Rick Porcello, Clay Buchholz and
Eduardo Rodriguez. Kelly would seem best suited in relief, but from Aug.
1 through Sept. 9 last season, he won eight starts in a row with a 2.59
E.R.A., apparently securing his role as a starter."
