Signed for 2018: CF Ruben Paz ($100K)
---Paz becomes the first of what will be many IFA signings over the next 12 months, he'll receive a $100K bonus. He defected from Cuba in April, 2016. He played one season for the Cuban Nacional Series. Paz worked out alongside Jose Garcia back in March, in Mexico, for the Reds. The Reds signed Garcia 2 weeks later but chose not to sign Paz at that time. Both players established residency in Mexico.
Acquired via Trade for $2.75M of 2017-18 International Pool Space: 1B/OF Nick Longhi (from BOS)
---Longhi was drafted by the Red Sox in the 30th round of the 2013 draft, he was expected to attend LSU that fall but signed for an overslot bonus of $440K (equal to a mid 4th rd pick). Baseball America ranked him as Boston's #14 prospect entering the 2017 season. He's a career .278 - .338 - .400 hitter in 347 minor league games. He's currently playing in AA and is over three years younger than the average player in that league. He'll likely be assigned to AA Pensacola.
The Reds have a $5.25M hard capped pool to sign International Free Agents between now and June 15th, 2018. Since the Reds exceeded their pool last season they are limited to $300,000 and under deals (bonuses up to $10K are exempt). So they are free to trade the vast majority of their pool (they didn't actually trade any $ - just the right for BOS to spend more).
Purchased from AAA Louisville: RHSP Asher Wojciechowski
---This is the 2nd time the Reds have purchased his contract this season, he was outrighted once before.
Transferred from MLB Cincinnati 10-Day DL to 60-Day DL: LHSP Brandon Finnegan (shoulder)
---This is the 2nd time the Reds have placed Finnegan on the 60-Day DL this season. Finnegan won't be able to return till the last week of August at the earliest.
Optioned to AAA Louisville: RHSP Jackson Stephens

Makes sense on Paz. Sign him when we signed Garcia and that $100k becomes a $200k cost. Today it was only the $100k since we can't go over in the new system. The Reds have a built in excuse to not go after any top IFA's in 7/17 and 7/18, but I hope they are working on building relationships with the kids that will become the top IFA's in 7/19 already.

I hope the Reds have nothing to do with a bunch of 13 year olds.

---Last week I missed this one...
Elected Free Agency: RHRP Jake Buchanan
---Buchanan, who pitched 14 innings with the Reds over 5 games, was outrighted to AAA Louisville on the 29th after being designated for assignment by the Reds and ultimately clearing waivers. He then chose to enter free agency, that was his contractual right, since he was outrighted once before - by the Astros in 2015. The Reds had initially claimed him off waivers from the Cubs in May.
He's already signed a new minor league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks AAA affiliate. This is the 27 year old's sixth year pitching at that level.
