DENVER -- Infielder Jose Hernandez and reliever Steve Reed have reached agreements in principle with the Colorado Rockies on one-year contracts.
The deal with Hernandez is contingent on him passing a physical and management approval, Rockies spokesman Jay Alves said.
Hernandez, who also attracted interest from San Francisco and the New York Mets, was an All-Star shortstop last season with Milwaukee. He hit .288 with 24 home runs and 73 RBI.
Hernandez could play shortstop or third base for the Rockies.
Reed was 2-5 with one save and a 2.01 ERA in 64 games for the Mets and San Diego. The Padres traded him to New York on July 31.
Reed, a right-hander, pitched for the Rockies from 1993-97. He was part of Colorado's original roster as an expansion team. Hernandez and Reed both filed for free agency after the World Series. |
