I'll go with 4.2 mil and a 40-man roster spot.

Well I would have rather parted with more money than a mjor league contract. Not sure what he got, although the earlier reports was the final offer from the Reds was in the 3 Million neighborhood. I would have upped it to 4 or 5 just to keep it a minor league deal. I suppose that probably wasn't going to happen, Alonso's camp probably wanted the major league deal more than the money.
Anyhow I'm sure it's too late to get him started what with all the time he was off probably won't see him until the fall or winter at best.

Can they rework the contract to send him back to Miami?
I doubt that. Beckham signed a couple of days ago, and played tonight
WLW was reporting earlier that the Reds made a final offer (per mlb.com) of something in the 3 million neighborhood. And yes it is a major league contract.

I'm gonna say 3.9 and a major league contract.
Now THAT was funny!
Benzinger backing and calling! And the 1990 world championship series belongs to the Cincinnati Reds!
Very nice. .37 cents. Maybe I'll send that to the Reds to help offset their overpayment.

If true, this definitely signals a nice change from the days when the Reds would draft guys like this and end up punting because the price was too high.

Sweet, but Beckham didn't have quite the layoff ()

Seriously though, since he's on a major league contract, they might as well bring him up in September.
That would be great compared to what he was asking for... In my humble opinion he will play next season.. .around September...
Agreed there. He seems polished enough to hit, or at least hold his own.

Good job by the Reds. I never doubted them for a minute.
