Reds starter Homer Bailey said he was ''really close'' to getting a multiyear deal completed on Monday with several days left before a scheduled arbitration hearing. Bailey is the last Reds player left in arbitration. ''There's a lot of things that we have in place,'' Bailey said before the team's workout on Monday morning. He asked for $11.6 million in arbitration and the Reds offered $8.7 million, their biggest gap with an arbitration-eligible player.
