Red Sox GM Ben Cherington made a lot of people in the Nation smile tonight—trading for soon-to-be 28-year old closer Andrew Bailey in exchange for Josh Reddick and two minor league players. On the surface, it seems like a steal for Boston—filling a gigantic hole for very little cost. The 2009 Rookie Of The Year has a career ERA of 2.07—with a WHIP of 0.954. He's given up only 117 hits in 174 innings pitched. The Red Sox also acquired outfielder Ryan Sweeney in the deal. Great job, Ben!
