    Veteran shortstop and World Series MVP Edgar Renteria has signed a one-year deal for $3 million with the Cincinnati Reds.

    Renteria, who led the Giants to its first World Series title since the franchise moved to San Francisco, said he had two reasons to sign with Dusty Baker's team: to play shortstop and to play for a contender.
