METS SEND SHORT TO RED SOX
The Boston Red Sox acquired infielder Zack Short from the New York Mets for cash.
What does it give the Boston Red Sox
In Short, the Red Sox get a depth infielder to help with their current situation on the active roster. Boston is dealing with multiple injuries, so Short seems like a short-term fix.
What does it give the New York Mets
The Mets had recently designated Short for assignment, so getting cash back for his services was a predictable outcome. The Mets seem content with their current infield depth.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, as Short will likely be used in either a backup or platoon role during his stint with Boston.
