Freel signed to a two year extension
According to the team press notes Freel and the Reds have agreed to a contract extension through 2009. No word on dollar amounts yet.

Re: 2 more years for Freel
Didn't he just sign one last season? Not that I'm complaining much, hopefully it's a good deal and makes him more trade able if it comes to that.

I wonder if he'll show up with dirt and grass stains on his shirt.

That was my initial thought. It's now a known cost until 2009. Other teams love that.

I really hope this makes Freel easier to move now. For 2008, you're looking at OF candidates of Dunn/Hamilton/Denorfia/Bruce and IIRC last year of Griffey's contract? That makes Freel the 6th man, unless he's content with being the super-sub, which I can't imagine he will.

Re: 2 more years for Freel
Considering the Reds current depth in the upper minors this isn't bad move if the money is fair.

Not a fan of this unless it's ridiculously cheap.

Re: 2 more years for Freel
As long as he doesn't block Bruce, Hamilton, whomever when they are ready, sounds fine as long as the dollars are not crazy.

Re: 2 more years for Freel
This has to signal a return to the role of super sub does it not? In coming seasons that is.

So does this mean his Hall of Fame plaque will be featured with a Reds cap?
