Looks like we'll be treated to the defensive styling of Juan Castro a little while longer. According to Marc, the Reds have inked him to a two-year contract extension with a club option for 2009.

I expect this is just the first of many, many similar deals we'll see before spring training 2007 and beyond. Before we know it, the Reds will be known as the Equipo de Oro. Whether they'll be the Equipo de Ganar is yet to be determined.
