Re: Denis Phipps and Kris Negron non-tendered
does that bring the 40-man roster down to 37? Go Walt! Fill those spots at the winter meetings!

I'm guessing the Reds will fill one spot prior to the Rule 5 draft. My guess is Scott Rolen.

Re: Denis Phipps and Kris Negron non-tendered
I think Broxton occupies 2 spots on the roster. :O)

Re: Denis Phipps and Kris Negron non-tendered; Phipps resigned to minor league deal
Reds signed OF Denis Phipps to a minor league contract.
Phipps, 27, appeared in eight games with the Reds last season as a September callup. He'll return on a non-guaranteed deal after being non-tendered.

Re: Denis Phipps and Kris Negron non-tendered; both resigned to minor league deals
Removing the chaff is a good idea.
Perhaps Jocketty is just being extra-prepared as he enters the GM Meetings in Nashville. He would have done this earlier, IMO, if he were worried about the Rule V Draft, so this is done for one of two purposes: 1) Trades wherein he'd receive multiple players back already on the 40-man roster of other teams. 2) Signing free agents. Might that mean a CF and a LF are soon in the fold?

Nice. Good org guys, but not 40 man worthy.

Re: Denis Phipps and Kris Negron non-tendered; both resigned to minor league deals
Would that make them Rule V eligible?

Wasn't yesterday the non-tender deadline? Perhaps he just waited until the deadline day to Matt the moves officially. I think other teams did the same.

Re: Denis Phipps and Kris Negron non-tendered; both resigned to minor league deals
Can someone please explain to me what this means to the organization as a whole?
Does it give the Reds more roster spots? Sorry, I don't really understand all of these front office terms.
