Reds offer deals to all 4 arb-eligible players

CINCINNATI — The Reds tendered contracts to all four of their arbitration-eligible players before Friday’s 8 p.m. ET deadline and did not tender a 2017 contract to three others.
Catcher Ramon Cabrera, reliever Keyvius Sampson and outfielder Gabriel Guerrero were non-tendered. The Reds’ 40-man roster stands at 39 players, which gives them space to pick a player in next Thursday’s Rule 5 Draft. The Reds have the second pick in that Draft.
