Trades,free agency mark off season
Mariners' Hanson, Boone sent to Reds
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — In the first big trade of the off-season, Seattle sent pitcher Eric Hanson and infielder Bret Boone to Cincinnati for a pair of young players. And in another big contract, Detroit gave Travis Fryman a $25 million, five-year deal.
Seattle, 15th in payroll this season at $33.2 million, got pitcher Bobby Ayala and catcher Dan Wilson from the Reds Tuesday night in a deal partly influenced by dollars. Hanson made $1.25 million in 1993.
"Our main reasoning is we were looking for a catcher," Mariners general manager Woody Woodward said from the general managers' meetings at Naples, Fla. "It was a chance to move some dollars and pick up a couple of young players."
Seattle is attempting to sign a multiyear deal with left-hander Randy Johnson, who made $2,625,000 and is eligible for free agency following the 1994 season. Johnson led the major leagues in strikeouts with
"Right now our main thrust is to try to sign Randy," Woodward said. "We'll know better where that stands hopefully by the end of the week or next week."
308 and was 19-8 this season.
Hanson, a 28-year-old right-hander who is also eligible for free agency after next season, was 11-12 with a 3-47 ERA in 1993. Boone, 24, split the 1993 season between Seattle and its Class AAA team at Calgary, Alberta, hitting 251 with 12 home runs, 12 doubles and 38 RBIs in 76 games for the Mariners.
"Two of our top priorities for the off season have been acquiring a starting pitcher and a second baseman," said Reds general manager Jim Bowden, whose team was sixth in payroll at $41.6 million. "Erik Hinson is a proven starter who is capable of pitching 200 innings per season. Bret Boone is a tough, hardnosed player with the potential to hit 15 to 20 home runs a year and drive in a lot of runs."
In a minor deal, Cleveland traded pitcher Heatchelff Slocumb to Philadelphia for outfielder Ruben Amaro.
There were three signings, including Fryman's big deal.
ond-highest paid player on the Tigers behind Cecil Fielder, and the 23rd-highest in the majors with the $5 million-a-year average salary. The deal followed last week's $29 million, four-year extension between the Chicago White Sox and first baseman Frank Thomas.
Fryman, who made $675,000 in 1993, has less than four seasons in the majors and could not have become a free agent until after the 1996 season.
The 24-year-old became the sec-
"I'm excited that the Tigers had confidence in me to give me such a contract," Fryman said. "Now I can concentrate on nothing but baseball and do my job right."
"In Travis Fryman, we feel we have one of the game's legitimate young superstars," Tigers general manager Jerry Walker said.
Only two players filed for free agency Tuesday, Baltimore third baseman Mike Pagliarulo and Minnesota catcher Brian Harper, raising the total to 86. Another 18 are potentially eligible to file by Sunday's deadline.
Fryman gets a $2 million signing bonus payable Dec. 15, $2 million in 1994, $3.75 million in 1995, $4.75 million in 1996, $6 million in 1997 and $6.5 million in 1998.
