"The Cincinnati Reds could be going to arbitration with starting pitcher Edinson Volquez, but GM Walt Jocketty is saying "he's sure they'll get a one-year deal done" before then, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The paper reports that the two sides are still trying to work out a multiyear contract extension as well.

The 27-year-old had a difficult year last season. First he was suspended for 50 games due to testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs."
