The Reds have picked up an option on pitcher Johnny Cueto, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. 

Cueto's option was for just $10 million, leading many to believe the Reds would extend the offer. Cueto was excellent last season, posting a 2.25 ERA over 243 2/3 innings. Cueto is entering the final year of his deal, but has expressed an interest to remain with the Reds.
