Source: Hermida agrees to Reds deal
The Cincinnati Reds have reached agreement on a minor-league
contract with outfielder Jeremy Hermida, a source told
FOXSports.com.
Hermida batted .216 with six home runs and 29 RBIs last year
in 73 games with Boston and Oakland. The deal will bring Hermida
back to the National League, where he was once a top prospect with
Florida.
Hermida, who turns 27 this month, profiles as a left-handed
complement in an outfield that includes right-handed hitters Jonny
Gomes, Drew Stubbs and Chris Heisey.
