The Boston Red Sox have acquired infielder Curtis Mead from the Washington Nationals in exchange for left-handed pitcher Connelly Early. The trade, completed more than a week before the MLB trade deadline, involves a direct swap of young talent between the two organizations.
The move serves to bolster the Red Sox's offensive lineup, as Mead arrives in Boston having recorded 17 home runs for the Nationals this season. To secure the infielder, the Red Sox traded from their existing starting rotation depth, parting ways with Early.
