Cincinnati Reds general manager continued to fill out his roster needs on Monday with a pair of free agent signings.

After much debate, the team settled on an option to fill the fourth outfielder void by agreeing to a deal with free agent Ryan Ludwick. It’s reported to be one-year deal that includes a mutual option for 2013, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

Ludwick gets a $2.5MM guarantee and could earn another $500K in incentives, per Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com

The 33-year old right-handed hitter posted a .237/.310/.363 line with 13 homers for the Padres and Pirates in 2011. His batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage all dropped for the third consecutive season. 

Defensively, he is capable of playing both left and right field.

The team also signed former All-Star catcher Dioner Navarro to a minor-league deal worth $800K with $200K in incentives. He provides depth to the organization at Louisville, along with veteran Corky Miller, and will be third on the organizational depth chart behind Devin Mesoraco and Ryan Hanigan.

Navarro, 28, batted .193/.276/.324 in 202 plate appearances for the Dodgers last year, catching 428 innings.
