CINCINNATI — The Reds are signing Mike Ford to a Major League deal according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network.

Ford was in Triple-A Louisville this season, but he opted out of his deal last week. The Reds decided to release him on Saturday, but ultimately decided to sign the veteran.

Ford posted a .297 batting average in Triple-A Louisville with six home runs, 15 RBI and a .381 on-base percentage in 91 at-bats. The Reds have lost six-straight games and have struggled at the plate. Maybe Ford can help solve their issues.

Mike Ford goes back to the Reds, this time on MLB deal. Reports today.
