Reds Sox agree to terms with Snyder

The Boston Red Sox today agreed to terms with righthanded pitcher Kyle Snyder on a one-year, non-guaranteed contract for the 2008 season. No further terms were disclosed.

The agreement was announced by Executive Vice President/General Manager Theo Epstein.

Snyder was 2-3 with a career best 3.81 ERA in 46 relief appearances with Boston in 2007, his first full major league season. The righthander limited the opposition to a .223 batting average and averaged 6.8 strikeouts per every nine innings of work.

Acquired on a waiver claim from Kansas City in June 2006, Snyder is 8-17, 5.45 in 91 games/29 starts with the Royals (2003; 2005-06) and Red Sox (2006-07) in his major league career.

With Snyder’s agreement, infielder Kevin Youkilis is the only remaining unsigned Red Sox player eligible for salary arbitration.
