Jan 31 Cabrera agreed to a one-year, $3 million contract with the Reds, the team's official web site reports.

Recommendation: He'll battle Paul Janish for the starting shortstop job, but this contract likely indicates he's won the job. The Reds have not officially announced the deal, which is also said to have a $3 million option for 2011 with a $1 million buyout. However, the MLB.com report doesn't say whether it's a player or club option.
