Reds Not Close To Extension For Scooter Gennett
6 years agoThe Cincinnati Reds and second baseman Scooter Gennett haven't made any progress in contract-extension talks after starting discussions in July. "I wouldn't expect it before the calendar turns [to 2019]," president of baseball operations Dick Williams said. "There's too much up in the air in terms of roster construction going forward. I don't think you'll see us working on any extensions for anybody -- that's not just Scooter-specific. But I don't see any other extensions happening in the next 30 days while we're working out the roster." Gennett will become a free agent after next season and has put up two great years with the Reds basically out of nowhere. He hit .310/.357/.490 with 23 home runs and 92 RBI in 2018 and has solidified himself as one of the better hitting power second baseman in the big leagues.
