The Red Sox dealt away one of their veterans this week, as 2B Marty Barrett is now a member of the Detroit Tigers. In exchange, they received 27 year old catcher Matt Nokes. Nokes burst onto the scene in 1987, hitting 32 home runs as a rookie. However, he has since been relegated to backup duty. He hit just .196 in 153 at bats this past season. The Red Sox avoided arbitration with Nokes by agreeing to a $840,000 salary next season. He will be a free agent after the 1991 season.

Barrett is due $1.2 million next season, and the Red Sox will retain about $840k of that salary on their books. He hit .225 in mostly part time duty last season, and became expendable with the emergence of rookie Tim Naehring.

The Red Sox also agreed to terms with infielder Jody Reed. He will earn a nice raise to $935k next season. Reed hit .278 last season while serving as Boston’s primary leadoff hitter.

With arbitration hearings set for tomorrow, the Red Sox were unable to come to terms and will be heading to arbitration with three of their players; 1B Carlos Quintana, SP Bob Tewksbury and OF Kevin Romine. They elected to non-tender SP Tom Bolton, RP Steve Howe, IF Randy Kutcher, and IF Luis Rivera. All four of those players will become free agents.

There was another trade of note this week, with the Cubs sending left handed relief pitcher Steve Wilson to San Diego in exchange for two minor leaguers, headlined by SS Jose Valentin. Valentin is a consensus top 100 prospect and represents a nice return for Chicago. The 25 year old Wilson had a solid season out of the Cubs’ bullpen, posting a 3.50 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 59 appearances.
