oldschooler Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Cueto’s option picked up In moves that were of no surprise, MLB.com has learned Tuesday that the Reds exercised the $10 million 2015 club option for ace starting pitcher Johnny Cueto and declined options for outfielder Ryan Ludwick and infielder Jack Hannahan. The mutual option for Ludwick was worth $9 million and it was bought out for $4.5 million while Hannahan had a $4 million club option bought out for $2 million. Both players automatically become free agents. None of the moves have been announced yet by the Reds. http://marksheldon.mlblogs.com/2014/10/29/cuetos-option-picked-up/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dub Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 They just payed $6.5m for Ludwick & Hannahan not to play here next season. MLB contracts are FUCT. How is a small-market team supposed to compete for more than a year or two with this sort of BS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 They certainly got screwed by the Ludwick contract, but they almost had to with how well he played before he got it. Been the ultimate turd sandwhich since. I thought Hannahan got injured in spring and didn't come back until late July/August. I'm not 100 percent sure. He gave us 26 games and 9 hits and looks like he had a salary of $1 million. $3.5 million for 26 games and 9 hits. Life must be good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Glad Cueto is here for another year but the starting rotation has not been the problem. They need bats. Frazier + Mesoraco > Votto + Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Glad Cueto is here for another year but the starting rotation has not been the problem. They need bats. Frazier + Mesoraco > Votto + Bruce. Hopefully we have all 4 for 150 games next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'm hoping they find a way to move Votto aka Buzz Killington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
