Reds and Dunn come to terms

Sarasota, FL (Sports Network) - Outfielder Adam Dunn inked a one-year deal with the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The 24-year-old Dunn finished the 2003 campaign with 27 homers and 57 RBI, but posted only a .215 batting average and struck out a whopping 126 times in 381 at-bats.

The 6-foot-6, 240-pound Dunn, who is not yet eligible for arbitration, suffered a left thumb injury on August 15 last year and did not play over the remainder of the season.

In his three year career, he has totaled 72 homers and 171 RBI to go along with a .241 batting average.

Utilityman Ryan Freel also agreed to a one-year deal on Tuesday, meaning that the Reds now have all of the players on their 40-man roster signed for the 2004 campaign.

The 27-year-old Freel posted a .285 batting average with four homers and 12 RBI in 43 games last season.

I really think Dunn can shake off those Dave Kingman tendencies this year and have a good season.
