The Cincinnati Reds have wrapped up their Friday by signing their last player that was arbitration eligible. Luis Castillo and the Reds agreed to a 1-year contract for the 2021 season for $4,200,00 and avoided the complexity of an arbitration hearing that pits the team versus the player where the team argues why a player isn’t quite good enough to get the money that they are asking for. Robert Murray of Fansided was the first to report the details of the agreement.
When the day began the Reds had six players that were arbitration eligible, but as the day went on the organization agreed with each player on a deal for the upcoming season.
