Slugger Eugenio Suárez is headed back to Cincinnati.
Suárez and the Reds have agreed to a one-year, $15 million deal, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed.
The contract includes a mutual option for the 2027 season worth $16 million, ESPN reported.
Suárez was the biggest bat remaining on the open market, and he heads to the Reds after hitting 49 home runs last season, although he struggled during the second half of the campaign.
Suárez spent seven of his 12 years in Major League Baseball with the Reds, playing in Cincinnati from 2015-21.
The infielder split last season between the Diamondbacks and the Mariners.
He clobbered 36 home runs and batted .248 before the trade to Seattle.
Suárez then hit .189/.255/.428 and recorded 13 home runs in 53 games with the Mariners following the move.
He did finish the 2025 season with a career-best 118 RBIs, though he finished the year hitting .228/.298/.526.
ESPN reported that Suárez is expected to get a majority of his at-bats in Cincinnati as a designated hitter, with the Reds already having Ke’Bryan Hayes at third base and rookie Sal Stewart believed to be taking over at first base for the upcoming season.
He spent two seasons with the Mariners from 2022-23 before he was traded in November 2023 to the Diamondbacks.
