Alfredo Simon, Reds heading to arbitration
Alfredo Simon - R - Cincinnati Reds
Jan. 18, 2013 - 7:55 PM ET
Alfredo Simon requested $1.05 million and was offered $750,000 from the Reds when arbitration figures were exchanged Friday.
The 31-year-old is arbitration eligible for the first time, and coming off a strong bounce-back season in which he posted a 2.66 ERA and 52/22 K/BB ratio in 61 innings. With Aroldis Chapman shifting to the rotation, it's conceivable that Simon could find his way into a setup role in front of Jonathan Broxton in 2013.
