BONDS MAY TAKE OVER MONEY LEAD:
   The New York Mets' Bobby Bonilla was baseball's highest-paid 
player in 1992 with a salary of $6.1 million, according to USA 
TODAY's eighth annual survey of major league salaries. Chicago 
Cubs second baseman Ryne Sandberg, whose new extension, which 
kicks in next season, averages $7.1 million. Pittsburgh's Barry 
Bonds may be next to take over the leading spot and earn up to $10 
million.
    
YANKEES, REDS MAKE DEAL:
   The New York Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds made the first 
major trade of this offseason Tuesday, when All-Star outfielder 
Roberto Kelly was sent to the Reds in exchange for outfielder Paul 
O'Neill and minor league first baseman Joe DeBerry. "We are very 
pleased to acquire such a multi-talented player," new Reds general 
manager Jim Bowden said.
    
AIDS NOT BIG NBA CONCERN:
   Magic Johnson might be the only NBA player to announce he has 
been infected by the virus that causes AIDS, but there isn't much 
concern around the league that any other players are HIV-positive. 
"Statistically, you can't rule out that other players may be 
infected," said Charles Grantham, executive director of the NBA 
Players' Association. The league offers free AIDS testing.
    
LAKERS WILL BE STRAPPED:
   The Los Angeles Lakers won't be able to do that much about 
replacing Magic Johnson because of the salary cap. The Lakers will 
be paying that price for three more years. Johnson has a 
guaranteed contract that pays $2.5 million this season, $2.5 
million next season and $14.6 million in 1994-95. Those numbers 
count against the Lakers' salary cap in each of the years.
