NASHVILLE — The Rockies on Thursday set up a likely platoon at first base by agreeing to sign former St. Louis Cardinals veteran Mark Reynolds to a one-year contract, a major-league source said.
Reynolds, 32, will make $2.6 million plus incentives next season, pending a physical. The deal was first reported by Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.
The Rockies have not announced the move and wouldn't confirm the deal was done.
Reynolds, a right-handed bat, likely will split time at first base with left-handed hitter Ben Paulsen, 28, who emerged as Colorado's starter at the spot last season after Justin Morneau was injured.
