Report: Veteran Power Hitter Signed by Cincinnati Reds to Major League Roster
The veteran has returned, but this time he’s with a major league team.
Cincinnati — Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Reds are going to sign Mike Ford to a Major League contract.
This season, Ford was with Triple-A Louisville, but he chose to leave the team last week. Although they had planned to release him on Saturday, the Reds finally chose to sign the seasoned player.
Ford hit.297 in 91 at-bats for Triple-A Louisville, with 15 RBI, six home runs, and a.381 on-base percentage. The Reds have struggled at the plate and have dropped six straight games. Perhaps Ford can help them with their problems.
Mike Ford goes back to the Reds, this time on MLB deal. Reports today.
