The St. Louis Cardinals reached a contract agreement with free-agent Mark Reynolds on Thursday, according to a CBSSports.com report.
The power-hitting Reynolds batted only .196 in 130 games for the Milwaukee Brewers last season but hit 22 home runs and had 45 RBIs.
Despite a career .229 career batting average, Reynolds has blasted 224 home runs and produced 613 RBIs in eight major league seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees and Brewers.
With the Cardinals, Reynolds could be used as a pinch hitter off the bench or as a platoon player against left-handers at first or third base and in left or right field.
