BOSTON (AP) - Outfielder Jeremy Hermida and the Boston Red Sox have avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a non-guaranteed $3,345,000, one-year contract.
Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein announced the deal Tuesday. Hermida was Boston's last remaining player eligible for arbitration. On Jan. 19, Boston avoided arbitration by agreeing to contracts with closer Jonathan Papelbon and relievers Ramon Ramirez and Manny Delcarmen.
Hermida, who turns 26 on Saturday, is projected to be the Red Sox fourth outfielder. They obtained him from the Florida Marlins on Nov. 5.
Hermida, the 11th pick in the 2002 draft, made $2.25 million last year when he batted .259 with 13 homers and 47 RBIs in 129 games.
He asked for a raise to $3.85 million and Boston offered $2.95 million.
