Impact This is a big year for Greene, who hasn't pitched in game action since 2018. He still needs to improve his offspeed offerings and his command, let alone make it through a full season healthy.

No trade imminent Reds GM Nick Krall issued a statement suggesting that rumors of Castillo being traded to the Yankees are 'completely false,' Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. "[The rumors] are comp...
Impact While Krall has asserted that he'll listen to offers for nearly everyone, it doesn't really make sense to trade Castillo, absent an overwhelming package. He's making only $4.2 million with the Reds in 2021 and won't become a free agent for another three seasons.

Reaches deal with Reds Castillo signed a one-year, $4.2 million contract with the Reds on Friday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact The right-hander is in his first year of arbitration eligibility, so the $4.2 million is a significant figure despite him still being underpaid. Castillo had a 3.21 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 89:24 K:BB over 70 innings last season, and he should sit at the top of Cincinnati's rotation in 2021 alongside Sonny Gray.

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.

Settles with Reds for $2.2 million Mahle agreed to a one-year, $2.2 million contract with the Reds on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact Mahle will get a nice raise coming off a breakout 2020 season in which he logged a 3.59 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 60 strikeouts in 47.2 innings. Most projection systems are bearish on his 2021 production, predicting something closer to his career 4.68 ERA and 1.40 WHIP, but if Mahle can maintain his significant gains in strikeout rate (up to 29.9 percent), he should beat those projections by quite a bit.

No arbitration necessary Winker and the Reds avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.15 million contract Friday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Winker took a step forward at the plate in 2020, though it's perhaps more accurate to say he took two steps forward and one step back. He was suddenly no longer a contact hitter, as his 25.1 percent strikeout rate was nearly 10 points worse than the 15.2 percent mark he managed over his first three seasons, but he more than made up for it with a big jump in power. His .289 ISO smashed his .181 mark through his first three campaigns, leading to 12 homers in just 54 games and an overall .255/.388/.544 slash line.

Avoids arbitration with Cincy Lorenzen signed a one-year, $4.438 million contract with the Reds on Friday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact The 28-year-old is in his final year of arbitration eligibility and and was able to reach a deal with the Reds ahead of Friday's deadline. Lorenzen entered the big leagues as a starter in 2015 but has worked as a reliever over the past five seasons, but he's expected to be a member of the starting rotation in 2021.

Reaches deal with Cincy Ramirez signed a one-year, $1.175 million deal with the Reds on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
Impact The 31-year-old was acquired from the Angels in the Raisel Iglesias trade in December, and he's now officially under contract for 2021. Ramirez had a 3.00 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB over 21 innings during the 2020 campaign and could be in the mix at closer with Cincinnati looking for Iglesias' replacement.

Joining Reds camp Gale signed a minor-league contract with Cincinnati on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training.
Impact Gale spent last year with the Dodgers but never made it past the team's taxi squad. Organizational depth seems to be the most fitting role for the 32-year-old backstop, as he's appeared in just 22 career MLB games, hitting .108/.108/.189.

Dealt to Cincinnati Warren was traded from the Rangers to the Reds on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.
Impact Warren was designated for assignment by Texas in late December, but he'll land with the Reds ahead of the 2021 season. The right-hander made his major-league debut in 2019, tossing 5.1 scoreless innings with five strikeouts and two walks across six relief appearances. He spent the 2020 season at the Rangers' alternate training site, but he could serve as a low-leverage reliever for the Reds next year.
