Tyler Stephenson was one of two Cincinnati Reds players who failed to work out an agreement ahead of the arbitration filing deadline, and the two sides will now be headed to a hearing in the coming weeks. According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, Stephenson's representation filed at $6.8 million and the Reds countered at $6.55 million.
Haggling over $250,000 hardly seems worth an arbitration hearing, but they still have time to work out a deal before standing in front of an arbiter. It's also worth noting that the two sides could be working toward a long-term deal.
