Eugenio Suarez Signs One-Year Deal with Reds
The Cincinnati Reds have signed free-agent third baseman Eugenio Suarez to a one-year deal on Sunday. They've agreed to a one-year, $15 million deal, which includes a mutual option for the 2027 season. Suarez heads back to Cincinnati after playing for the Reds from 2015-2021. It's a bit shocking that it took this long for Suarez to sign, given his offensive numbers from last season. He slashed .228/.298/.526 with 49 home runs and 118 RBI in 159 games with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Seattle Mariners. The expectation is that Suarez will spend most of his time at designated hitter. Ke'Bryan Hayes is a much better defender, so he'll likely continue playing every day at the hot corner. The addition of Suarez is bad news for Sal Stewart, who will likely see a reduced role now. Fantasy managers know what to expect from Suarez at this point. He'll strike out nearly 200 times and post an ugly slash line, but will hit for a ton of power.
