CINCINNATI, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- The Cincinnati Reds said Monday they have picked up their 2012 club option on two-time all-star second baseman Brandon Phillips.
Phillips, who logged a career-best .300 batting average with 18 home runs and 82 RBI for the Reds last season, will receive $12 million under the option exercise.
Phillips led National League second basemen in hitting, slugging, on-base percentage, runs, hits and doubles, and ranked second in RBI, MLB.com reported.
The Reds also announced they have declined an option on closer Francisco Cordero for next season, however.
Cordero compiled a 5-3 mark with a 2.45 ERA and 42 strikeouts, 22 walks and 37 saves for Cincinnati in 2011.
