The Cincinnati Reds have locked up another key offensive player to a long-term contract. A week after signing first baseman Joey Votto to a massive extension, the Reds agreed to a six-year contract with second baseman Brandon Phillips. Phillips signed a four-year, $27 million deal before the 2008 season that had a $12 million option for 2012. This new contract replaces that one and goes through 2017.
