Minor Moves: Bray, Valdez, Rondon, Hernandez By Mark Polishuk [November 8 at 4:38pm CST] Here are a few of the day's minor transactions... Left-hander Bill Bray and infielder Wilson Valdez have elected to become free agents, according to MLB.com's transactions page. With Valdez entering his second year of arbitration-eligibility and Bray his third, both players were seen as non-tender candidates by MLBTR's Tim Dierkes following their disappointing seasons for the Reds. Valdez, 34, posted a .463 OPS in 208 plate appearances as a backup infielder. Bray was limited to just 14 games due to groin and back injuries, but he'll surely draw interest from teams looking for lefty relief help; Bray posted a 2.98 ERA and recorded 44 strikeouts over 48 1/3 innings for Cincinnati in 2011. |

Re: Free Agents Frenzy Starts here
Interesting piece from mlbtraderumors.com regarding this year's free agent class and changes in the demand for them. Mentions the Reds as an example of signing top players to long term agreements before they hit free agency.

not sure if this has been posted.
Reds interested in Bourn. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/da...erest-in-bourn one would think that the team may have some cash to spend if they are interested in Bourn

Here's a wild idea:
What if the Reds brought in Rich Harden to compete in the bullpen?

Lots of talk in this thread about giving big money to Ryan Madson.

MLBTR speculated Shaun Marcum might sign a one year deal to rebuild his value and go after a bigger one next year. For some reason, the Brewers had absolutely no interest in keeping him.
He's pretty much a lock to put up a mid 3 ERA at this point. Would anyone like to pick him up for a year?

Without trading Bailey or Leake, I don't see how there is room for Marcum.
