SignOnSanDiego Briefly Mentions the Reds Again
What a treat for the Reds: they're mentioned in the last sentence of the last bullet of the tacked-on “Notes” section of this story on SignOnSanDiego.com:
If pitcher Pedro Astacio is to return to the Padres via a Triple-A contract, it could mean turning down a major league contract from either the Reds or Nationals. Astacio is working out in the Dominican Republic, said his agent, Steven Schneider.
I'd like to be offended that anyone would consider an AAA contract over a major-league contract with the Reds, but actually, I kind of understand.
