As a Red's fan, I am glad that they have signed a lot of their core young players to long-term deals.....but I am also afraid that it's gonna come back to bite them in the rumpus.....50 years ago, you could count on having players for as long as you wanted them, however, if you didn't want them anymore, you could cut them......now, if the Reds decide that one of these players has turned into a liability, they are just stuck.....
