In this story:

The Reds have secured the futures of two key players, reaching agreements with standout pitcher Nick Lodolo and reliable outfielder Jake Fraley, thereby avoiding arbitration.

Fraley and the Reds agreed to a $3.125 million deal. Lodolo and the Reds agreed on a $1.975 million deal.

Despite both coming off injury-riddled seasons, Fraley and Lodolo remain integral to the Reds' core and are eager to play a significant role in the team's success in 2025.
