On July 2nd the Cincinnati Reds made a big splash when they spent $1.65M on the signings of outfielder Cristian Olivo and shortstop Miguel Hernandez.
While they didn’t match either of those two signings, they did ink two more teenagers to six-figure deals in the last two days. Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com reported on July 3rd that the Reds had signed outfielder Reniel Ozuna to a bonus of $175,000.
