Slugger Eugenio Suárez and the Cincinnati Reds have agreed to a one-year, $15 million contract with a mutual option, sources told ESPN, reuniting him with the team that helped him blossom into a consistent home run threat.
Coming off a season in which he blasted 49 home runs, the 34-year-old Suárez lingered for months in free agency, with teams spooked by his subpar second half. Cincinnati pounced anyway, with limited downside on a one-year pact that includes a $16 million option with no buyout, which is highly unlikely to be picked up by both parties.
