The Cincinnati Reds hold a $10 million option on Johnny Cueto for 2015 that is certain to be exercised after the pitcher just completed a four-year, $27 million deal.
Cueto, 28, can become a free agent for the first time after the 2015 season. He hopes to remain with Cincinnati over the long-term.
"Yes. I feel good here," said Cueto through interpreter Tomas Vera. "I like it here. I like the fans. I like the stadium, even though the stadium is small, I like this stadium. I pitch good here. I want to stay here, yes."
The situation isn't an easy one for the Reds. In addition to Cueto, Mato Latos, Mike Leake and Alfredo Simon are a year away from free agency.
