红人跟Johnny Cueto签下四年延长合约共27M 包括2015球队选择权
The Reds and right-handed pitcher Johnny Cueto signed a four-year contract
extension with a club option for 2015, the team announced (on Twitter). The
deal is worth $27MM, tweets Enrique Rojas of ESPNDeportes.com.
Cueto was arbitration-eligible, and he and the Reds were about $900,000 apart
on their submitted salary figures, per our Arbitration Tracker. The
right-hander was seeking $3.9MM, while Cincinnati offered $3MM.
The deal buys out all three years of Cueto's arbitration eligibility, plus
one year of potential free agency. Rumors of the Reds and Cueto having
preliminary talks about a long-term extension surfaced in early December but
were relatively quiet thereafter, as Cincinnati turned its focus on extending
Jay Bruce and buying out Joey Votto's three years or arbitration-eligibility.
It's been a busy and expensive offseason after a resurgent 2010 for the Reds,
who've committed a combined $151MM in salaries
