Reds Secure Future Ace Hunter Greene To Long-Term Deal

The Cincinnati Reds signed pitching phenom Hunter Greene to a six-year, $53 million contract extension.
The deal includes a seventh-year option and buys out two years of Greene's free agency.
Greene, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 draft, throws one of the fastest fastballs in MLB.
The Reds are hoping Greene helps turn around a franchise that hasn't won a playoff series since 1995.
The new contract gives Reds fans hope that ownership is committed to building a winning team.
