According to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com , Ludwick will decline his side of his mutual option. However, Heyman adds that the Reds and Ludwick are “very interested” in working out a new deal.
Ludwick will probably hold out for a three year deal but could accept a two year deal in the right situation with the right money.
