Overview

  • The Reds announced Tuesday that Suárez has rejoined the club on a one-year contract, a move first reported by ESPN’s Jeff Passan as a $15 million deal with a 2027 mutual option.
  • Suárez, 34, returns after seven seasons in Cincinnati from 2015–2021, during which he hit 189 home runs and made his first All-Star team.
  • He is coming off a 2025 campaign with 49 homers and 118 RBIs split between Arizona and Seattle, including a Game 5 ALCS grand slam for the Mariners.
  • Team president Nick Krall said Suárez will get reps at DH, third base and first base, with Gold Glove third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes entrenched at the hot corner and prospect Sal Stewart factoring at first.
  • The signing addresses Cincinnati’s lack of home-run punch last season, and Suárez’s power profile could be amplified at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park.
