Reds To Sign Cuban Right-Hander Vladimir Gutierrez - MLB Trade Rumors

 

The Reds have agreed to sign highly regarded right-hander Vladimir Gutierrez for a bonus of $4.75MM, reports MLB.com’s Jesse Sanchez (via Twitter). The 20-year-old Cuban righty will count again Cincinnati’s international bonus pool, which they’ve already vastly exceeded with their $7MM deal with Cuban shortstop Alfredo Rodriguez.

Lots of ups and downs for Vladimir Gutierrez over the past year, but recently he's been up to 97 mph with a plus curveball.

Reds were already over their bonus pool after paying $7 million for Cuban SS Alfredo Rodriguez. And I like Gutierrez more than Rodriguez.

I love it.

How many SS's do the Reds need?

??? Gutierrez is a pitcher.....

Rodriguez is a SS, mentioned above. Seems like you have two SS's on the roster now that don't get enough time along with a converted SS playing 3B and two other SS's in Louisville.

They have Peraza and Cozart (they'll move him in the offseason).

 

Who are the two SS's in Louisville?
