The Reds avoided arbitration with Nick Masset by signing the right-handed
reliever to a two-year, $2.58 million contract. Masset will make $1.035 million
this year and $1.545 million in 2011. There are also performance-based
incentives. This leaves Jared Burton as the Reds' only remaining
arbitration-eligible player. According to John Fay, (1) the Reds have offered
Burton a one-year deal and (2) Walt Jocketty told both Masset's and Burton's
agents that the Reds want deals done before arbitration figures are exchanged,
or they will go to arbitration.

Arbitration figures for 2010 contracts will be filed Tuesday. Hearings will be
held February 1-19. Both Masset and Burton made less than $500,000 last year.

That bodes well for the reds. Burton shouldn't get more than Masset.
That shouldn't strain the budget.

That's new. It's sensible too. I like that.

They made just over the minimum salary the reds HAD to pay them.

Burton signed for 0.85 or so.
That's in line.
