If true, the Reds did some good here. I am guessing it will be around 4 yrs/$25 million. With Dunn and Griffey gone after this season, the Reds needed to lock down Phillips. He has power and speed and plays a good second base. The way the market goes, Phillips is a steal.According to the Dayton Daily News, the Reds have agreed to terms with Brandon Phillips on a multi-year contract.
Details of the deal haven't been revealed yet, but Phillips' scheduled arbitration hearing has reportedly been canceled. Phillips was asking for $4.5 million in his first year of arbitration eligibility, meaning that the contract must span at least four seasons to buy out any free agency.
