The Reds have signed No. 7 overall pick Yonder Alonso. It’s believed to be a major league deal, but the terms have yet to be announced.

No, but it is money that most likely would go towards other expenditures. Also, the fact that a non-premium position player would ask that much beyond the slot gave me ill feelings toward him.

No Parker.
Bigfoot was a bust.
Who knows on Yorman
But I am stoked that Alonso is a Red.

Re: Yonder Alonso

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if they sign him for exponentially more than what was predicted/slotted then won't all future first rounders expect/demand the same increase?
