CINCINNATI (WKRC) – The Reds have reached an agreement with right-handed starting pitcher Brady Singer on a $12.75 million salary for the 2026 season, one of 10 Cincinnati players to avoid arbitration this offseason. The team failed to reach agreements with catcher Tyler Stephenson and right-handed reliever Graham Ashcraft ahead of the deadline, meaning the two are likely headed for a hearing.

Per MLB. com reporter Mark Feinsand, Stephenson requested $6.8M and the Reds countered with $6.55M, while Ashcraft wanted $1.75M and the Reds submitted $1.25M.

The agreements, with the projected amount followed by the reported deals:
