Cincinnati, OH (SportsNetwork.com) – The Cincinnati Reds have made a qualifying contract offer on Monday to free agent outfielder Shin-Soo Choo.<\/p>\n
Choo has seven days to accept the deal, but can still re-sign with the Reds if he rejects the $14.1 million offer. If he rejects and signs with another team, Cincinnati will receive a compensation pick in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft in between the first and second rounds.<\/p>\n
In 154 games with Cincinnati last season, Choo batted .285 with 21 home runs and 54 runs batted in. His 112 walks were a career-high and led to a .423 on- base-percentage, which ranked fourth best in all of baseball.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old South Korean has hit .288 over nine seasons with Seattle, Cleveland, and Cincinnati, totaling 104 home-runs and 427 RBI with a .389 on- base-percentage.<\/p>\n
The Reds chose not to make qualifying offers to pitchers Bronson Arroyo, Zach Duke, Nick Masset, and Manny Parra, as well as infielder Cesar Izturis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
