一句话看懂
Eugenio Suárez cleared waivers and stays with the Reds after no team claimed him. His $15M contract and poor season made other clubs pass.
背景
The Cincinnati Reds placed veteran slugger Eugenio Suárez and outfielder TJ Friedl on outright waivers on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, according to reports from The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. This move came as the Reds struggled at 63-71, nine games back in the Wild Card race, and both players had disappointing seasons. Suárez, 35, signed a one-year, $15 million deal in February but hit only .208 with 19 homers and a .705 OPS, while Friedl had a career-worst .476 OPS. The waivers allowed other teams to claim them by paying the remainder of their salaries, but no team did, so both remain with the Reds.
