Reds avoid Brady Singer standoff but his future suddenly feels shaky

The Cincinnati Reds were unable to seal the deal with all 11 their arbitration-eligible players ahead of Thursday's filing deadline. While there's still time for the two sides to agree to a contract before heading to a hearing, pitcher Graham Ashcraft, second baseman Matt McLain, and catcher Tyler Stephenson were unable to come to terms on agreements for the upcoming season.

The Reds, however, were able to avoid arbitration with starting pitcher Brady Singer. The right-hander agreed to a one-year, $12.75 million, which is little higher than some estimates had predicted. MLB Trade Rumors projected Singer to take home $11.
