Cincinnati -- The Cincinnati Reds and catcher Ramon Hernandez have reached agreement on a one-year contract, the team said Monday.

Terms were not disclosed, but MLB.com reported it is worth $3 million.

"We wanted to provide our young pitching staff with some continuity. We felt all of our pitchers were comfortable pitching to Ramon," Reds General Manager Walt Jocketty said. "We also like his production at the plate. Our catchers were very solid last year offensively."

Hernandez, 34, posted a .297 batting average with seven home runs and 48 RBI in 97 regular-season games. He played a key role in helping the Reds win the National League Central Division last season.
