MIAMI (AP) - The Florida Marlins are big on players who outperform their contract, which is why outfielder Jeremy Hermida is bound for Boston.

The Red Sox acquired the former first-round draft choice Thursday for left-handers Hunter Jones and Jose Alvarez.

Hermida was the 11th overall pick in 2002 but has yet to fulfill his projected potential. He was among Florida's best-paid players this year at $2.25 million but hit only .259 with 13 home runs and 47 RBIs in 129 games.
