Eugenio Suárez and the Reds Agree to a $15 Million, 1-Year Contract, AP Sources Say
- ESPN reporter Jeff Passan reported Sunday that the Cincinnati Reds agreed to a one-year, $15 million contract with slugging free agent Eugenio Suárez, including a 2027 mutual option.
- After his 49-homer 2025 season, Suárez, 34, returned to a familiar club where he hit 189 homers, likely accepting a one-year deal due to age concerns.
- Suárez is expected to serve mainly as the Reds' designated hitter and will hit in a lineup featuring Elly De La Cruz, Spencer Steer, Matt McLain, and Tyler Stephenson.
- The move positions Cincinnati to challenge in the NL Central, with Suárez’s signing viewed as an affordable impact move for the Reds' 2026 outlook, given their strong rotation and manager Terry Francona.
- Despite the power, Suárez's 2025 split was uneven as he hit.189 in 53 games with Seattle and fanned 196 times, blending high strikeouts with power.
