Cincinnati Reds: It’s time to give Scooter Gennett an extension

It’s been a polarizing topic of conversation all season long. Should the Cincinnati Reds offer a contract extension to their All-Star second baseman Scooter Gennett? And while there are valid arguments on both sides, it’s becoming clearer that Gennett is deserving of an extension with his hometown team.

March 28, 2017, may go down as one of the best days in the life of Ryan “Scooter” Gennett. Gennett was claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Reds after the Milwaukee Brewers allowed him to walk, following a season in which he hit .263 with 14 home runs and 56 RBIs.
