Nothing new on Rolen, arb-eligible guys
bleacherreport.com
CINCINNATI- No news out of Redsland today.
Walt Jocketty was still waiting to hear back from Scott Rolen’s agent.
“I’m kind surprised I haven’t heard by now,” he said. “They’ve got some
other stuff going on.”
Time is also winding down on the remaining arbitration-eligible players
— Mat Latos, Homer Bailey, Mike Leake and Shin-Soo Choo.
“We really haven’t made a lot of progress on the big ones,” Jocketty
said. “You’re always hopeful that you can get it done before you get
the hearing.”
Latos’ hearing is scheduled for Monday.
The Reds have not gone to arbitration since 2002 when they won against
Chris Reitsma.
The gaps are fairly significant:
Bailey: Filed for $5,800,000. Club countered at $4,750,000
Latos Filed for $4,700,000. Club countered at $ 4,150,000
Leake: Filed for $3,500,000. Club countered at $2,650,000
Choo: Filed for $8 million. Club countered at $6,750,000
Jocketty said the Reds are likely done as far as adding players. They
signed left-hander Manny Parra and catcher Miguel Olivo Friday.
“Those were two areas we wanted to shore up,” Jocketty said, “add
another left-hander and get some depth at catcher.”
