The Reds shouldn't have to give him a major league deal. They have the leverage in the negotiations. Grandal doesn't.

jimcallisBA Lock to sign. @EricWelchOH: Do you have any insight into the Reds/Grandal negotiations? #mlbdraft
Jim's answer is certainly good news for Reds fans.
Someone else pointed this out in a game thread but it looks like the Reds are taking Bakers suspension and getting the most out of it.
That's grandal? I smell a presser after the game.
I'm 100% sure thats Yas. It was also yesterdays game.
ok maybe 100% is over reaching. Im 95% sure its him.
Its either him or a body double. The ears pretty much confirm it for me.

Who else would it be if it wasn't him?
I'm convinced it's Grandal. Great to see!
Mark Sheldon has a tweet up Yasmani Grandal has already taken his physical , seems very likely that is indeed him with Dusty.
Well all things considered a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Better to sign him than to place a lot of hope on two picks next year.
Him with the college experience it'll be interesting to see how this all plays out with a relatively young Hanigan, a blossoming Mesaraco, and Grandal.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

Ryan Hanigan turns 30 tomorrow , he will never be a full time mlb catcher for more tan a year.
Very good news if he signs. I hate the idea of deferring the pick until next year. It just feels bush league to me.
