The Reds and reliever Nick Masset have agreed to terms on a two-year, $2.58 million contract. The agreement allowed the two sides to avoid arbitration. Masset went 5-1 with a 2.37 ERA in a team-high 74 appearances last season. "We're pleased we were able to get a deal done instead of going to arbitration," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said. "Nick was a leader in our bullpen last season and we expect him to help anchor that group over the next couple of years."
