Matt Reynolds and Diamondbacks avoid arbitration

The first of our arbitration eligible players can be crossed off the list, with left-handed reliever Matt Reynolds reaching agreement with the club.

According to Zach Buchanan on Twitter, the deal is quite a cheap one by major-league terms, with Matt Reynolds making a base salary of $675,000, and a $25,000 bonus if he appears in 55 games this year. Given the major-league minimum salary is likely to be a little above $500,000, he's not making much more than that, especially considering this is his second year of arb-eligibility. However, he did miss a lot of playing time during The Summer of Tommy John which the Diamondbacks "enjoyed", costing him the entire 2014 season, with his debut this year not coming until August 23.
