Jody Reed Agrees to Join Brewers in Spring as Nonroster Player

MILWAUKEE — Infielder Jody Reed agreed Thursday to a minor league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers and will go to spring training as a nonroster player.

Reed, 31, hit .276 last season with the Dodgers and led the National League in second-base fielding, committing five errors in 698 chances. He became a free agent after it was said he turned down an $8-million, three-year contract offer from the Dodgers.

He was drafted by Boston in 1984, hitting .260 in 715 games with the Red Sox over six years. The Colorado Rockies picked him in the 1992 expansion draft, then traded him to the Dodgers.
