Reds arbitration history

Relievers Nick Masset and Jared Burton both filed for arbitration on Friday. It was a formality and both can avoid a hearing if they reach agreements on contracts. Players and teams will exchange figures on Tuesday. Hearings are scheduled any time between Feb. 1-19.

Based on the Reds history, it’s a good bet hearings will be avoided with both players. Last year Edwin Encarnacion flew all the way to Arizona for his hearing but signed a two-year contract before it was time to go inside.
