Jody Eric Reed (born July 26, 1962) is an American former professional baseball second baseman and infielder.

He played 11 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) between 1987 and 1997 for the Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, and Detroit Tigers.

Reed was 3 for 6 with two RBI and a stolen base in that game, with his first hit being a single off Jeff Ballard in the top of the fifth.

Reed was offered a three-year, $7.8 million contract extension by the Dodgers after the season, but turned it down in order to become a free agent.

The Padres traded Reed to the Detroit Tigers on March 22, 1997, in exchange for Mike Darr and Matt Skrmetta.
