• Reds' Tucker Barnhart: Inks four-year extension

  1D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  The Reds signed Barnhart to a four-year, $16 million extension Friday with a $7.5 million club option in 2022 ($500,000 buyout), Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. He also received a $1.75 million signing bonus. Barnhart's chief value rests outside the fantasy realm, as he's thrown out 44 percent of the runners trying to steal a base on him this year. That's the best percentage in the National League and the second-highest in the majors, per Sheldon. He's been a valuable backup to talented but injury-prone Devin Mesoraco, and Barnhart now lines up to be in the Reds' plans, in some form, for the next few years.

  13D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Barnhart went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer and five total RBI on Sunday during the Reds' 10-5 win over the Mets. The backstop knocked two in on an eighth-inning double before leaving the yard in the ninth to drive in the other three. Barnhart will continue splitting time with Stuart Turner, though Devin Mesoraco (foot) may return before the end of the season to add another wrinkle to a typically uninspiring fantasy picture.
