Cincinnati Reds sign Drew Storen to be their closer in 2017

The Cincinnati Reds have finally reunited a pair of dominating Indiana high schoolers. Tucker Barnhart and Drew Storen were teammates for two years at Brownsburg High. Storen has said that he looks forward to throwing to Barnhart in an MLB game.

Barnhart and Storen talked prior to the signing of the deal with Barnhart able to tell how it felt to be a Red to a lifelong fan in Storen. At the age of 29 Storen becomes the veteran leader in a very young bullpen. Storen has been in the big leagues since 2010.

Drew had a rough 2016, much like the Reds, where he played for both the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners.
