The Cincinnati Reds reached one-year agreements with all five arbitration eligible players on Friday. The signings guarantee that Cincinnati will avoid dealing with the arbitration process for the second year in a row. It’s always difficult to assign value to players who’ve yet to take the field, but based on what we know, which deals could be the biggest bargains for the Reds in 2020?
Travis Jankowski, who was brought to Cincinnati earlier this offseason, agreed to a one-year/$1.05M contract prior to yesterday’s deadline for teams and players to exchange figures. The arbitration process can be a messy one, so it’s always advantageous for both parties to attempt to work out a deal without having to go through the exercise.
