Reds Reunite with All-Star Slugger Eugenio Suárez on $15M Deal

Eugenio Suárez is returning to the Cincinnati Reds, four years after being traded to the Mariners. The Reds signed the 34-year-old slugger for $15 million for one season, with a $16 million mutual option in 2027. Suárez, coming off an All-Star season where he led all third basemen with 49 homers, previously mashed 36 HRs for the Diamondbacks in 2025 before a trade to Seattle. Cincinnati, which finished 21st in home runs last season, hopes he'll provide much-needed pop, likely as a designated hitter or first baseman, offering protection for Elly De La Cruz. The Mariners are now moving towards a younger roster.
