Scooter Gennett Frustrated By Lack Of Extension Talks

By Jeff Todd | February 19, 2019 at 2:40pm CDT

Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett expressed frustration today with the lack of engagement by the organization regarding a long-term contract, as John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Saying that his side has “opened it up” in search of a dialogue this winter, Gennett says he has “heard absolutely nothing.” Previously, he and the club worked out a $9.775MM deal to cover his final season of arbitration eligibility. That’s a hefty sum, to be sure, but did fall shy of the $10.7MM that MLBTR projected.

Gennett made clear that his primary frustration isn’t the lack of a long-term deal so much as it is the club’s communication on the matter. “What I don’t like is when you’re told we’re going to have a talk and it doesn’t happen,” he said. GM Nick Krall declined to comment, citing club policy.

In the middle of the 2018 campaign, Gennett said he had reason to believe there was serious interest from the club in an extension. Things seemingly shifted this winter, though, for the Cincinnati native. President of baseball operations Dick Williams cast doubt on the possibility of a deal and Gennett even briefly popped up in trade rumors.

There’s still time for a change of course in camp, but there’s clearly no momentum toward an agreement at present. Gennett says he’s fine with the current arrangement from a financial perspective — “I’m only going to make more money going year-to-year than if I signed a long-term deal” — but would like to know what to anticipate from a personal perspective.

Looking at the subject from a roster-building perspective, it’s not too hard to see why the Reds might have hesitated. Gennett is still just 28 years of age and has now put up two-straight quality seasons, but he also has some platoon limitations and only lines up at second base defensively. While the plan is to put top prospect Nick Senzel at center field this spring, it’s also possible that he or another rising prospect could make for a compelling infield option in the relatively near term. With other needs already readily foreseeable next winter, locking into Gennett for significant money comes with some clear downside.

    Gennett is clearly interested in an extension. It’s in the Reds interest to at least touch base with Gennett

      Problem is Nick.
      You need a place for him to play, and he is much cheaper.
      You have 3rd base, 2nd base, possible SS and 1st base solid for a long time.
      Thanks Scooter, but we need the money for the rotation.

        The prospect could be traded for pitching too. Senzel might be good, might not. Scott Kingery was “untouchable” last spring. You already know Scooter is good. Having local talent is great for a franchise.

      That is completely untrue that the A’s show no interest. He is well liked in Oakland. I’m sure the A’s are trying to figure out how to keep Davis while also trying to keep Chapman and Olson long term.

          Please just stop w/ the “cheap owners” narrative. It’s the hot-topic word of the year apparently, like collusion in the NFL.

          But what the hell exactly should an owner care about, ya know, the OWNER OF THE BUSINESS, of course they need to keep an eye on revenue.

          The “owner of a business” where in 2018 MLB set a “record” for revenue!!! A big problem with MLB is that, while there is a soft cap, there is no team required minimum or floor that requires teams to spend a certain amount of revenue on payroll!!! As a fan who wants to follow a team that is constantly rebuilding and trades their stars to continue the never ending rebuild!!!

    IMO he’s earned an extension. From a club perspective I wouldn’t want to give him, say 6 years, but if they can find a shorter term that still saves them a little money and potentially increases his trade value I’d be all for it – particularly as the season goes on and we see if he stays on the pace he’s been on in Cincinnati.

    I think the big key here is that he is disappointed that he has heard nothing from them at all. If they aren’t that interested in extending him just at least tell him you aren’t interested in negotiating a new deal. Ghosting him is not the right way to go about things.

    As a Reds fan, I hope we don’t give him an extension. Use the money on extending Puig and Alex Wood. Senzel to 2B, outfield opening to Jose Siri or Taylor Trammell. Use rest of money on a TOR arm either FA or a trade and extension. Cough cough Robbie Ray is my target

          Offensive he is, but the ‘D’ not so good. The problem is we need to put that 10 million elsewhere as we have good/great second basemen coming that will not require 10 million for some years. Of course, he is a good team player and has been an asset.

          What you’re saying makes no sense two years ago he hit 295 with 27 hrs and 97 rbis last year he hit 310 with 23 hrs and 92 rbis. He is now entering his prime at 29.On what basis do you predict a regression other than using a dartboard or just guesing

          I think Senzel can get very close to those numbers starting next year and be much better defensively. You then use the money for more pressing needs. Bet Puig will have a big year. But Wood and another starter is a more pressing need than a 2B who can be replaced from the minors.

          Rowsdower last year Gennet had the sixth highest batting average in all of baseball. “Assuming” Senzel can get close to that there is no way any other minor leaguer you bring up can. If you play Senzel in the of and Gennett at second base you get both players in your lineup.You spoke before of a regression. The guy you might expect regression from is Joey Votto which without Gennett would leave you with a pretty mediocre offense. Also expecting a rookie no matter how highly anticipated to put up a 310 ba and 23 hrs his first year is asking a lot. Only Acuna Soto and Andujar even approached that last year. Senzel has hit 27 hrs in 3 years in the minors so I have no idea how you can expect that from him

        • Rowsdower

          I’m that high on Senzels hit tool and as we both know, hitting 23 home runs when you play half of the games in GABP isn’t asking a lot. I also meant “starting next year” as 2020 when Scooter is gone so Senzel would have 2019 under his belt. So yes, I do expect him to. A small to mid market team needs to pay a player on what they’re going to do in the future, not what they’ve done in the past. Just like Brandon Phillips, said that contract was a bad move right when it happened. Sure, Votto has regressed but if there’s a guy I can count on to bounce back, it’s Joey plus his contract isn’t going anywhere so no reason to bring him up. I suspect the Reds front office agrees with my thinking, hence not reaching out for an extension. Use the money elsewhere

          If you are that high on Senzel then why not trade Gennett now and get a decent haul for him. Letting him play to either August when you trade him or the end of the year makes no sense. Either get something for him now or extend him.In August you’ll get nothing good., It never makes sense to let an all star in his prime walk. Period

          What you’re saying could be true but it doesn’t make sense. I’m into fantasy baseball and I’m prepping for it now. Only second basemen better then Gennet right now are Altuve Baez and Whitfiels and one plays for KC and another could easily move any where else in the infield. I could see where Torres on the Yanks and Albies on Atlanta make more sense then him but thats about it.Murphy Dozier Gordon Villar Cano Schoop? Not much there

          Fantasy value > real value. He’s terrible defensively and doesn’t have much trade value unfortunately. High BABIP and low walk rate equals prime candidate for regression. Real batting average is about the 76th most important measure of a player’s ability. I like Scooter and appreciate what he’s done for my favorite team but he’s expendable. Senzel is a much better defender and profiles as a better hitter in the very near future.

          Last year his dWAR was 0.2 which while not great isn’t terrible. I admit I don’t live in Cincinnati so I don’t see him regularly but I’ve seen him enough to know he’s not Daniel Murphy and appears to be at least competent if not great. Explain to me exactly what you see that would suggest he is terrible when it isn’t shown in the stats. Terrible is a real strong word

          JDGoat I guess you remember this trade a little differently then I did. I remember them giving up another outfielder Matt Kemp an all star last year and a starting pitcher Alex Wood with a 3.68 era and a young infielder named Farmer and getting back an unusable starting pitcher earning 23 million dollars a year and getting back the 7th ranked prospect in the Reds minor leagues and another lower then top 10 prospect.The idea that Puig was traded for two minor league prospects is a lie. Puigs 10 million dollar salary was part of a salary dump that the Reds were willing to swallow to get rid of Bailey (dead wood) and get Wood a good starter and Kemp a decent of

          Nope. The Reds took on Kemp’s deal to get Wood and Puig. Kemp is not an asset. Puig is and they certainly didn’t have to take on his money to get Kemp. You even quoted WAR for Puig yet didn’t for Kemp which would show you he’s not good.

          Your hate of Matt Kemp is duly noted. His role will be to face lefties where he is a career .911 OPS. Also an .898 career OPS in Cincy’s home park. Only an .828 OPS last season against lefties but a higher number against lefty starters.

          Kemp might be done, he might not be. Winker and Schebler are lefty hitters and will need a RH stick to spell them. Enter Kemp. Could be a huge asset for that team in that backup role.

          It’s not hate. It’s simply the fact he isn’t an NL player. He provides almost zero value, even though he has a semi decent bat still. And even with that bat, he’s one of the streakiest players in the majors.

    Unfortunately the reds should have traded him before spring training.. I just don’t think the market for second baseman is that strong.. Senzel should be the second basemen of the future.. the reds aren’t going to get anything at the end of the year… like what happened with cozart… scooter has been great for the team especially as a waiver claim but that money can used in a lot of other places and senzel will be just fine at second…

      I think they could offer him a QO, and he wold reject it.

    It’s almost as if hitting a bunch of Hrs doesn’t mean anything anymore.

    At least he’s not trying to “neg” Cincinnati into an extension.

    I don’t believe in (Small market) teams I only believe in cheap owners
    Last time I checked there’s not one MLB team playing in Idaho North Dakota or Wyoming which I would consider small markets no offense to those states
    You have teams in Florida California Ohio who say they’re small market that’s ridiculous how about trying to field a good team and maybe just maybe you’ll put fans in the seats

    Is prospects just worked out automatically like everyone seems to think, teams wouldn’t have between 5 & 10 minor league teams. They should let the rookie play almost everyday the first half. If he can play, trade Scooter at the deadline.

    Would like to know what an extension would look like in years and dollars. Much rather have a proven player, then a player who has been hurt/health issues and who has potential. Would hope to have both if not too expensive.

    The front office has been busy as hell all offseason improving the product on the field, trying to contend, and Scooter wants to whine because they didn’t get to his long term extension yet? Come on!! Pick your battle!

      1.5 ? Two years ago 27 hrs 295 ba. Last year 23 hrs 310 ba. Which of those is a half a year? Even three years a go he hit 263 with 14 hrs in 136 games which is far from terrible for a second baseman so exactly what are you talking about.As to good not great the sixth highest batting average in all of baseball last year with 23 hrs despite playing 141 games.I don’t know what you expect out of a second baseman but I think thats better than good

        Oh 23 and 14 homers you say…playing in Cinny. I stand corrected. Lol

        Did he collect most of his homers in the first half of last year? Yes
        Power kinds fizzled out towards the end

    This is not how you run a franchise when it comes to dealing with your own players. This is just one of the reasons Cincinnati has been an absolute joke since the early 1990s. You do not tell a player you want to work out an extension and then have zero dialogue or winter I understand fancy saying they have been busy but what does it take to pick up the phone call the agent of your player and tell him we need to put this on the back burner just for now. Now the general manager refuses to comment this is again bad business practice and makes the organization look bad.

      While I agree the Reds have not done whats right for Cincinnati recently you do realize they won 91 games in 2010 97 games in 2012 and 90 games in 2013 right?

    I hope Senzel puts up big numbers but scooter is in his prime and raking… 4 years 45 million keeps an all star at second for the reds… same deal for puig right now and we have our team through the end of Votto with the hopes that Senzel and Trammel occupy left and center with puig… that really could be one hell of a lineup… trade other prospects for some pitching and win a lot of games 7-5!

    I’m not sure there is a better hitting second baseman in baseball beyond altuve in the last 2 years so forgive me if I don’t buy into hype of prospects being better than scooter!

    Scooter, 10 more homeruns a year and you can demand Machado money.

    Scoots extension could hinge on Senzels ability to handle CF. If he can, they may toss him a three year deal and they have both positions solidified. If not, then next season Senzel is at second, because they aren’t dealing his young, inexpensive bat.
