Sox Set Roster

WINTER HAVEN, Fla.--The Boston Red Sox got down to the 25-player limit today in sweeping moves that included the release of veteran catcher Jeff Newman.

In addition to eating Newman's $325,000 guaranteed contract, the Red Sox placed veteran second baseman Jerry Remy on the 21-day disabled list and cut utility infielder Ed Jurak and pitchers Mike Brown and Ed Glynn.

New man was placed on waivers for the purpose of giving him his unconditional release, Jurak and Brown were sent on option to Pawtucket of the international League.

Glynn was assigned outright to Pawtucket, but, as a three-year major league veteran, may choose to become a free agent within three days.

The roster moves were announced by General Manager Lou Gorman, who met over pizzas with manager John McNamara and coaches in the press room at Chain-O-Lakes Park Wednesday evening.

Gorman said Newman had been offered a job as player coach in the Red Sox' minor league system. Newman said he would think about it.

Remy missed most of the 1984 season because of a recurring knee injury. A 10-year veteran with two years remaining on his contract, worth more than $1 million, he has been unable to play in the field this spring.

Brown, considered Boston's top young pitching prospect two years ago, has been plagued by injuries but is healthy now. The righthander was 6-3 at Pawtucket and 1-8 with Boston last year.

Glynn, a lefthander who has pitched for Cleveland and the New York Mets in his career, was acquired last fall. He was unimpressive in training camp.
