Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com reports that the Indians have agreed to terms on a contract with catcher Mike Redmond.

The financial terms are not yet available though it's doubtful the deal is worth more than $1 million. Redmond, 38, hit .237/.299/.289 in 135 at-bats last season. He will serve as Lou Marson's backup in 2010.

He hit .237/.299/.289 in 135 at-bats this season, down from the .287/.321/.333 marks he posted in 2008.

Mike Redmond - C - Marlins

Mike Redmond will start Thursday's series finale against the Mariners.

So much for all that disabled list talk. Redmond is just going to deal with the pain of his strained right groin. "My job is to go out there and hold down the fort until Joe [Mauer] gets back and I'm going to try to do that," Redmond said. "I know the situation right now, we're thin. But I'm not going to go out there and play if I didn't think I could play. I'm not stupid. I wouldn't go out there if I didn't think I could help this team."
