Reds lockup Brandon Phillips long-term?



Brandon Phillips and the Cincinnati Reds have agreed in principle to a long-term deal, a source close to the negotiations told the Dayton Daily News on Thursday night. Terms and length of the deal were not available, but the long-term deal is done and an arbitration hearing between the Reds and Phillips has been canceled. Phillips was asking for a one-year contract worth $4.5 million and the Reds were offering a one-year, $2.7 million deal. The long-term deal wipes that all out. Phillips, 26, had a breakout season in 2007, blossoming as a star both offensively and defensively. -- Dayton Daily News

It is a 4 yr deal for $27 million with a club option for a 5th year.

I am happy that this deal got done. They needed to lock him up to keep the team together. I expect great things from them this year. I am not sure how it happene, but I think he has replaced Griffey as the number one fan favorite on this team.
