David Weathers and Ben Weber sign w/ Reds (per Enquirer)

According to Dan O'Brien on 1360, the Reds will make another announcement regarding a free agent signing this afternoon. Didn't give a time though.

My bet would be Weathers has been finalized, possibly even Mercker.

Re: FA Announcement This Afternoon.

I'm guessing that it's Weathers.

Re: FA Announcement This Afternoon.

This wouldn't be a curveball would it?

We had no idea we were looking at Ortiz and he arrives yesterday. Could this be a name we have not even discussed? Could the fact that we upped payroll for Ortiz mean they would do it for someone else?

It's probably Weathers, but we'll see.

Could also have something to do with Jiminez too.

Re: FA Announcement This Afternoon.

:santa: I hear it is Bob Owchinko at 3 years, $12M !!!

Don't ask me why....but I heard from a pretty reliable source that the Reds had also spoken to Steve Reed, RHP. Reed is 40 years old, but is very durable and effective. He is a 13 year vet, and has only 3 years with an ERA over 4.00 despite spending over a third of his career in Coors Field. It will likely be Weathers or Mercker, which is fine, but it could be Steve Reed.

Re: FA Announcement This Afternoon.

Pic on the Homer just said it's a "big" announcement. He also said that even if it is Weather and/ Mercker that could be considered big for the Reds.

Didn't talk like it's definetly one of them.
