The Reds are “one of the teams interested” in signing free agent utility player Brock Holt, according to a report from Bobby Nightengale Jr. of the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Things have been quiet all winter on Holt, who is a free agent for the first time after spending seven seasons with the Red Sox. Cincinnati is the first team reported to have interest in the 31-year-old.

Boston spoke to Holt about a reunion early in the winter, but that possibility is viewed as unlikely now that the Sox have former Reds infielder Jose Peraza in the fold. Peraza, who can also play a variety of positions, cost just $3 million, which is likely less guaranteed money than Holt will get.

Holt hit .297/.369/.402 with three homers in 87 games for the Red Sox last season, appearing at six different positions. After being acquired in a Dec. 2012 trade with the Pirates, he appeared in 615 games for Boston over seven years and was an All-Star in 2015.

Holt previously expressed interest in returning to the Red Sox on a hometown discount. Boston’s desire to cut payroll to get under the $208 million competitive balance tax threshold means the Sox will have to trade a high-priced player in order to add any other new players to the organization.
