Reds sign Broxton to 3-year, 21M contract
The Reds have signed Jonathan Broxton to a three-year, 21 million contract, giving the NL Central champions a potential closer.

Reds lock up Broxton for three years
The Cincinnati Reds inked a new closer on Wednesday.
The Reds and free agent right-hander Jonathan Broxton have reportedly agreed to a 3-year deal worth approximately $21 million, according to Mark Sheldon of MLB.com.

They did so by acquiring RHP Jonathan Broxton from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for prospects LHP...
Jonathan Broxton on the move?

We have been told that the Royals are only interested in locking up some SP at least through the 2013 season. Everything I’ve read on Broxton so far is that he likes Kansas City, and he may...
Broxton proving he is still a dominant closer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - At least one of the major worries the Royals were facing to start the 2012 season seems to have been resolved the replacement for Joakim Soria.
Granted, it's early, but the Royals, who at one point were expected to split the closer duties between Jonathan Broxton and Greg Holland, settled on Broxton quickly. And so far, they haven't regretted it.

Jonathan Broxton: Back to Elite Form?
I mentioned Sunday that the most important and impressive part of the win against the Angels was the apparent return of Jonathan Broxton's velocity on his fastball.
I am not the only person who noticed and are willing to admit a bit of excitement about this fact.
