The team is expected to announce the deal Thursday afternoon. ESPN.com says the contract could be worth up to $3 million with an incentive package.

The Cincinnati Reds and shortstop Edgar Renteria have agreed to a one-year contract. Renteria, a five-time All-Star, was the 2010 World Series MVP as a member of the Giants. He hit .276 with three home runs in 72 games with San Francisco.

Awesome! Do we have any good SS coming up the farm system? Seems like we have been weak there since Barry left.

Not really. There is a kid named Zack Cozart that is supposed to be a good defense SS but struggles when it comes to hitting. The Reds just signed him to the 40 man roster not to long ago.

I really like this signing. Were Renteria and Rolen at StL at the same time? That would be good. But the Reds need to find their long term SS soon. If it is Janish, this won't hurt to give him another season as back-up IMHO.

Yes, but they are at least a couple of years away.

Unless one of them goes Mike Leake on us.

Personally, I have no objections to Janish.
