[外電] Orioles send Hernandez to Reds for Freel
LAS VEGAS – The Baltimore Orioles completed a deal with the Cincinnati Reds on
Tuesday, sending veteran catcher Ramon Hernandez for utility player Ryan Freel
and minor-league infielders Justin Turner and Brandon Waring.
The Reds also will pick up a small portion of Hernandez's contract, but it was
at least $1 million because the deal required the approval of the
commissioner's office. Hernandez will be paid $8 million next season.
The Reds had identified catching as a top priority under new general manager
Walt Jocketty. The only catcher on their 40-man roster with big-league catching
experience was Ryan Hanigan, and he caught just 30 games last season.
Freel, a versatile player who missed much of last season with a torn hamstring
muscle, has a guaranteed $4 million deal.
The Orioles were comfortable trading Hernandez because they expect that their
top minor-league prospect, Matt Wieters, will be ready for a big-league
promotion by midseason.
