Reds signed RHP Michael Wuertz to a minor league contract. He'll report to extended spring training before likely being assigned to Triple-A Louisville. Wuertz had a 6.68 ERA in 33 2/3 innings last year for the A's, but he was fantastic back in 2009 and the Reds hope he might be able to recapture some of that form.
