Reds Bringing in Nathaniel Lowe
The Cincinnati Reds are signing free-agent first baseman Nathaniel Lowe to an undisclosed non-roster deal on Friday, sources told Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Lowe joins the Reds on a minor-league deal and will compete for an Opening Day roster spot in spring training after hitting a disappointing .228/.307/.381 in 153 regular-season games last year with the Washington Nationals and Boston Red Sox. However, the 30-year-old veteran slugger did manage to clear the fences 18 times while driving in 84 runs and scoring 64 times. Even if Lowe performs well in Cactus League games, he'll be hard-pressed for regular playing time in Cincinnati in 2026 as long as both Eugenio Suarez and Sal Stewart are healthy. Suarez and Stewart are projected to split time at first base and designated hitter for the Reds. Lowe will provide Cincy with more pop from the left side without a clear path to regular playing time.
