from Fay:
The Reds are still waiting for a call from Yonder Alonso.
I think there's a slight chance. It happens. We'll know in 63 minutes either way.
--------------
Seems he is playing the waiting game till the others ink, as all reports have indicated
It's pretty stupid if you ask me.
I understand wanting to get as much money as possible, but why let your fate be determined by someone else's (or what they sign for)? I'd worry about myself, but that's just me.
its sounds like he intends to sign. He would have call them back if it was no go. He is basing everything on Posey and Smoak, and if it gets too late, He'll probably ask for a little over what the Reds are offering, and they'll get it done.
Sign him and put him in the freakin' lineup tomorrow night. I can't take much more of the bilge on the field we saw tonight
30 minutes
IMHO its as much the agents playing chicken with each other as it is the teams/agents doing it. Every agent is waiting to one up the other guy.
He signed!
FIRE DUSTY BAKER
ADOPT THIS SIGNATURE IN SOLIDARITY!!!
The Reds have signed No. 7 overall pick Yonder Alonso. The terms have yet to be announced
per BA
I just hope the Reds didn't cave in.
ain't your money.....but they woudln't go crazyOriginally Posted by AccordinglyReds
All this waiting aroung 'til midnight (actually 9 pm, my time) reminds me of the old trade deadline. I actually liked the midnight deadline better. It just seemed cool staying up late to see what would happen.
Now let's sign Alonso
Edit: That was quick!
It's good they signed him but it will be interesting to see how much they signed him for and if it's a ML deal.
I'd be OK with a 4-4.5 bonus IF it is a minor league deal. If it's a major league deal I think 3.5-4 would be fair.
Alrigth Predictions?
5.2 (even though I said 4.5 before)
it'll be a ML deal, they already said they would be fine with that, though perfered a minor league deal...O well
4.3 with a ML deal- but thats just my guess.
I can exhale at least.
Witty signature.
