After Coito posted a solid 24-year-old season in 2010, Reds general manager Walt Joketti at the time had the foresight to lock him up in a four-year, $27 million deal with the club’s option. This gave Cincinnati an additional two years of control, during which time Koito blossomed into a rival to Cy Young. When the free agency approached, Jocketty shipped the Cueto the Royals to the World Championships.
