The Cincinnati Reds tendered 2026 contracts to all 12 arbitration-eligible players at the Nov. 21 deadline for tendering contract rights to players on the roster not yet signed to 2026 deals.
One of those arbitration-eligible players, left-handed reliever Sam Moll, signed an $875,000 contract that avoided a possible non-tender decision.
The Reds non-tendered three pre-arbitration-level players, making them free agents, including right-hander Roddery Munoz, who had been claimed off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals earlier this month, the team announced.
The two others non-tendered: catcher Will Banfield and right-hander Carson Spiers, who was designated for assignment earlier in the week.
The 11 other arbitration-eligible players tendered contracts by the Reds (2025 salary in parentheses): Right-hander Graham Ashcraft ($780,000), outfielder Will Benson ($760,000), center fielder TJ Friedl ($780,000), left-hander Nick Lodolo ($1.975 million), infielder Gavin Lux ($3.325 million), infielder Matt McLain ($770,000), right-hander Tony Santillan ($1 million), right-hander Brady Singer ($8.75 million), infielder Spencer Steer ($780,000), catcher Tyler Stephenson ($4.925 million) and left-hander Brandon Williamson ($770,000).
The deadline for reaching terms on a contract before exchanging arbitration figures is Feb. 15. Hearings would be scheduled in February.
