It’s being reported that as of now, the Reds are not close to an extension with Scooter. The article suggests that the Reds should trade him now if he’s not extended before the season. He’s in the last year of arbitration and should make about 10 million. He’s 29 and a predicted extension was 3-4 years at 14 million per year. The typical Reds move would be to keep him all year and lose him to free agency without any return. Would you trade him now or try to lock him up for 3-5 years? I would like to see a 3 year, 39 million or a 4 year, 48 million extension. Scooter will probably want a 6 year, 90 million deal and there’s no way they should entertain that.
