The Cincinnati Reds finally pulled off the blockbuster addition that fans had been begging for all offseason. According to reports, the Reds signed Eugenio Suárez to a one-year, $15 million deal with a mutual option for the 2027 season.
The addition of Suárez brings that middle-of-the-order thump the Reds' lineup was missing, and the reunion has already excited the fanbase. Suárez was beloved during his time in Cincinnati, and several Reds fans believe he could be the missing link to help get the team back to the postseason in 2026.
A cloud, however, hangs over the Suárez signing, as Nick Krall and Reds' management have constantly cited the organization's desire to keep payroll at the same level it was last season.
