Reds' Zack Cozart: Avoids arbitration with Reds

Cozart avoided arbitration with the Reds, agreeing to a one-year, $5.325 million deal.

Analysis:

The Reds have dangled Cozart's name in trade talks this offseason but haven't made any tangible progress. They still need to find a way to make room for both Jose Peraza and Dilson Herrera to play, but both Cozart and Brandon Phillips remain ahead of them respectively.
