The deadline for teams and arbitration-eligible players to reach agreements on their 2021 salaries and avoid hearings was today, and it appears the Cincinnati Reds managed to do just that with each of their eligibles. We covered earlier the agreements reached with each of Michael Lorenzen, Jesse Winker, Noe Ramirez, Amir Garrett, and Tyler Mahle, but as the deadline passed, there had been no word of the status of ace Luis Castillo.
Fortunately, it appears that was merely administrative, as the righty and the Reds settled on a $4.2 million deal for 2021. FanSided’s Robert Murray had the news.
