6 years agoCincinnati Reds All-Star second baseman Scooter Gennett appears to be discussing a contract extension with the team. He told MLB.com on Friday, "Just from the talks that I've had with the guys in control of all those things, I feel like they want me here. I feel like, just from what I've been told, they want me here for the long term. What I'm getting is [CEO Bob Castellini] wants me here for a while. When it comes to all of the trade stuff, it would be going against what I've been hearing." Heading into the 2018 season, Gennett was expected to be one of the team's top trade assets but his strong play and the team's improved performance on the field appears to have made him part of the team's core going forward. Gennett is eligible for arbitration at the end of this season and can become a free agent after 2019.--Matt T - RotoBaller
