It looks like the Cincinnati Reds will get a deal done with Edinson Volquez.  According to John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer, GM Walt Jocketty expects to a get a deal done this weekend with Volquez for a likely one-year contract.  As of Saturday afternoon, ESPNDeportes.com’s Enrique Rojas reports that the Reds and Volquez are close to a one-year, ~$1.6 million deal.

It was reported on January 21 that the sides were working on getting a deal done.  Volquez remains the final Red to be in arbitration-limbo.  The right-hander asked for $2 million while the Reds countered with $1.3 million.

Volquez was 4-3 with a 4.31 ERA in 62.2 innings throughout 12 starts in 2010.

Former closer Jason Isringhausen will throw off the mound on Monday in Arizona and the Reds are one of the candidates that may sign him.  Fayman says the team will determine what they want to do next after the bullpen session.

The 38-year-old Isringhausen last pitched for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2009 when he went 0-1 with a 2.25 ERA in nine appearances.
