FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Reds and Skip Schumaker have agreed to a two-year deal, pending a physical.
No word yet on the exact terms involved. Schumaker, who turns 34 in February, batted .263/.332/.332 with two homers and 30 RBI over 125 games this season while making starts between second base and all three outfield positions. The Reds will likely use him in a similar super-sub role.

Dodgers acquired UTIL Skip Schumaker from the Cardinals for INF Jake Lemmerman.

He'll share time at second base out in Los Angeles with Mark Ellis while also serving as depth at all three outfield spots. Schumaker is a .305/.359/.403 carer hitter against right-handed pitching.

Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports the the Dodgers have acquired Skip Schumaker from the Cardinals.

The 32-year-old is a career .305/.359/.403 hitter against right-handed pitching, so he's not a bad guy to have on the bench, and he's slated to make just $1.5 million in 2013.

Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com hears that the Dodgers are interested in Skip Schumaker.

Thu Oct 25 201212:31Schumaker not being viewed as option at 2B
Skip Schumaker is not being viewed as an option at second base for the Cardinals next season.

Daniel Descalso became the Cardinals' starter at second base down the stretch this summer and top infield prospect Kolten Wong is on the way. Matt Carpenter could also be an option if he makes progress defensively this winter.

He has been sidelined since the end of May with a right hamstring strain. The 32-year-old utilityman was batting .321/.378/.432 with 12 RBI in 29 games before sustaining the injury. Schumaker should see enough playing time to be an asset once again in NL-only leagues.
