Reds and C Jose Trevino avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.425 million contract.Given their limited resources, surrendering Fernando Cruz and paying more than $3 million to get Trevino from the Yankees as a backup to Tyler Stephenson seems rather wasteful by the Reds. While it could pay off if Stephenson gets hurt, there were better places to upgrade. Trevino, a free agent after the season, is one of the game's best pitch framers, but he hit just .215/.288/.354 in 234 plate appearances for the Bombers last year.
