Re: Reds In Serious Talks With Jonathan Broxton
I'm guessing 4 years, 38 million, with a 4th year buyout.

Whoa, for real? That seems steep, but all along people have been saying that he's a hot commodity this year. It'd be nice to get him back and hopefully on a decent deal.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too, lot's of interest was indicated. He is young still. I'd prefer not to see something like that, though.

Sources: Broxton deal with #Reds expected to be for three years.
I'm guessing 3/24: 6/8/10.

Is he worth more than Sean Marshall?

Re: Reds In Serious Talks With Jonathan Broxton
If Broxton the Reds is the one signing the deal, I am on board. If Broxton the Royal is signing the deal, I will pass. Again though, it seems like the Reds are going to be willing to pay an absolute premium for a "closer", something small market teams should never consider.

That seems like way too much for him. We're not far removed from the Cordero contract, and we know how that worked out.

Re: Reds In Serious Talks With Jonathan Broxton
Jon Heyman is reporting at least 3 years. He says if it gets signed, the Reds will likely move Chapman to the rotation.

Not sure how I feel about Broxton the longterm Reds closer.

Don't think I feel real good about paying out big cash for a closer. Just as well to try Hoover there I think.

I'd like to see that as well. Unfortunately, even if it happened, all it would take is a rocky outing or two before he was pulled and labeled as "non-closer material."
