Cincinnati is close to reaching terms on an agreement for a contract extension with 2B Brandon Phillips only days after handing out a ten-year, $225 million extension to 1B Joey Votto. The extension is believed to be in the range of five years and $60 million. Phillips batted .300 with 18 homers, 82 runs batted in, 14 stolen bases, 94 runs scored, and a .353 on-base percentage last season, as well as being named to the All-Star team and winning a Gold Glove Award.
Phillips wanted a contract extension this off-season, but the team compromised by exercising his $12 million option.
