The Reds signed Barnhart to a minor-league contract on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Barnhart was released by the Diamondbacks in early July, and after spending a month in free agency, the 33-year-old catcher has finally found a home. He'll return to a Reds organization which he spent the first 13 years of his professional career with after being selected in the 10th round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft. Considering Cincinnati isn't very thin at the catcher position, Barnhart doesn't have a clear path to big-league at-bats. He should be expected to report to Triple-A Louisville.
