CINCINNATI -- When the clock struck 12:01 a.m. ET on Friday, the free-agent market completely opened for business and the exclusive negotiating window teams had with their own free agents had closed.
Players are now free to negotiate with any team they wish. The Reds did not sign any of their nine free agents during the 15-day exclusive window that began upon the completion of the World Series. Cincinnati's free agents are relievers David Weathers, Jeremy Affeldt, Mike Lincoln and Kent Mercker, utility player Jerry Hairston Jr., catchers Javier Valentin and Paul Bako, outfielder Corey Patterson and starting pitcher Josh Fogg.
