Agrees to terms with Cincy Garrett signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Reds on Friday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact The left-hander receives a raise from the Reds in his first season of arbitration eligibility. Garrett had a 2.45 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 26:7 K:BB over 18.1 innings during 2020 and will enter spring training in competition for the closer's role following the departure of Raisel Iglesias.

Wants Reds' closer job Garrett is one of three current candidates to fill the vacated Reds closer job, along with Lucas Sims and Tejay Antone, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact For his part, Garrett already has the confidence and desire for the job. "To me, it's mine to lose," Garrett said Tuesday. "I'm just going to go in there and take it. Not a lot of things are earned, and nothing is given. I'm just going to go and take it." Garrett is coming off of his best season, one in which he posted a 2.45 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with 26 strikeouts in 18.1 innings. It wouldn't be a total shock if the Reds mixed-and-matched in the role, though he has been effective against both lefties and righties the last three years.

Picks up first save Garrett had one strikeout, two walks and didn't allow a hit during the ninth inning to record the save Tuesday against the Pirates.

Impact The left-hander was called upon for the first save of his career since Raisel Iglesias and Archie Bradley were both apparently unavailable as they each threw two-plus innings over the past two days. Garrett hardly made things easy as he delivered only 13 of his 27 pitches for strikes and issued a pair of one-out walks, but he still managed to keep the Buccos off the board. He has a 2.81 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB while notching five holds across 16 innings this season.

Locks down third hold Garrett struck out two over 1.1 innings to lock down his third hold of the season in a win over the Cubs on Friday.

Impact Garrett might be called upon to pitch again in Saturday's doubleheader, given that Raisel Iglesias has had to pitch two days in a row thanks to Robert Stephenson's struggles Friday. Garrett has been fantastic this season, posting a 2.45 ERA, 0.64 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB over 11 innings.
