Without seeing the details...this is an excellent move! It keeps a star player happy (Philips loves Cincinnati), and it gives the Reds one of the best young players in the game.

Great deal. It's good to see that this organization has it's priorities straight. He deserves this deal, no matter what the salary.

Its probably at least 4 years because I doubt they would buy out all but 1 year of arbitration

It is surprising Phillips got a LTC before Dunn.

I think working out a contract that buys out arbitration years is going to be a lot easier than working out a deal with a guy probably looking for a lot more money

I hope this is true....I have a hard time believing Hal's sources since his "Beatty New Reds GM" news break

Re: Per Hal, Phillips and Reds agree on long term deal
Getting Brandon long term could be the smartest thing this team has done in a while. It's great that Brandon wants to be in Cincy for the long haul.

Let's hope that this all pans out.

Re: Per Hal, Phillips and Reds agree on long term deal
I have a feeling this will buy out 1 FA year at most. I think it's going to a a slightly overpriced deal based on the market of newly signed multi year contracts by arb eligible players.
