Freel signed to a two year extension

According to the team press notes Freel and the Reds have agreed to a contract extension through 2009. No word on dollar amounts yet.

Re: 2 more years for Freel

Didn't he just sign one last season? Not that I'm complaining much, hopefully it's a good deal and makes him more trade able if it comes to that.

Re: 2 more years for Freel

Considering the Reds current depth in the upper minors this isn't bad move if the money is fair.

Re: 2 more years for Freel

As long as he doesn't block Bruce, Hamilton, whomever when they are ready, sounds fine as long as the dollars are not crazy.

Re: 2 more years for Freel

This has to signal a return to the role of super sub does it not? In coming seasons that is.

Re: 2 more years for Freel

So does this mean his Hall of Fame plaque will be featured with a Reds cap?

Re: 2 more years for Freel

I didn't see this one coming. Kind of shocking, actually.
