“The Reds have re-signed catcher Ramon Hernandez to a one-year contract,” report Ken Rosenthal on FoxSports.com.

…i was never able to determine if the Mets would have shown interest in hernandez, had he become a free agent… nevertheless, in the end, the penny-pinching Reds will probably end up saving a a few million dollars on next year’s payroll by declining his option, like they did, then re-signing him to a new one-year deal

The 33–year-old Hernandez hit .258 with five HR and 37 RBI in 81 games this season, missing nearly nearly half of the year with season-ending knee surgery.
