Right-handed reliever Kerry Ligtenberg agreed to a minor league deal Wednesday with the Reds, who will give him a chance to win a spot in their bullpen.

The 35-year-old reliever hasn't pitched in the majors since 2005, when he appeared in seven games for Arizona. He had 18 saves and a 3.57 ERA in 53 appearances for the Cubs' Triple-A team in Iowa last year.
