The Cincinnati Reds have reached agreement on a six-year, guaranteed $51 million contract with outfielder Jay Bruce, a baseball source told ESPN.com.

The deal includes a club option for a seventh year that could bring the overall value of the contract to $63 million, the source said. Bruce has a partial no-trade clause and the opportunity to earn additional money through award bonuses.

Reds also resigned Cueto for a 4 year deal with something like 37 Mill I believe.

I am impressed with how the Reds are putting money in to the team. Now, are all the fans willing to put up now? Expect ticket prices to increase. There will be no more $1 hot dogs. To keep these players, the fans will now have to pay a lot more. Let's see what happens to that!

Ticket prices will go up, but this team will be better. Just as Dusty said, will the fans poney up a little more to support the team?
