The Cincinnati Reds continued to bolster their bullpen Monday, re-signing free-agent right-hander David Weathers.
FOXSports.com has learned that Weathers will receive a two-year deal worth approximately $5 million, pending results of a physical, which Weathers will take today.
The deal will keep Weathers in Cincinnati, where he has played the last two seasons appearing in 140 games. The contract also includes incentives that will increase the value of the deal if Weathers ends up closing games.
Interest in Weathers had been high and the reliever turned down three-year deals from a pair of teams to remain a Red.
Earlier this off-season, the Reds had given a two-year deal to left-hander Mike Stanton, who spent the 2006 season with the Nationals and Cubs.
