Reds Notes: Sal, Elly, Rotation, Coaching Staff
Newly minted National League Rookie of the Year Sal Stewart is a clear building block in Cincinnati, but the Reds have yet to approach Stewart about a contract extension, reports Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer. The Reds locked up budding ace Chase Burns on a seven-year, $105MM contract over the summer. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see them try to work something out with Stewart, though his price tag will probably exceed that of Burns — particularly with some hardware under his belt and a chance to earn some more next week, when Silver Slugger winners are announced.
