Report: Reds Place Suarez, Friedl on Waivers
The move gives other teams 48 hours to claim the veterans and take on about $3.7 million in remaining salaries, Rosenthal reported.
- On Thursday, the Cincinnati Reds placed veteran third baseman Eugenio Suárez and outfielder TJ Friedl on outright waivers, giving other MLB teams a 48-hour window to claim either player by assuming their remaining 2026 salary.
- Both veterans have struggled significantly this season; Suárez is batting.208 while Friedl hit.158 across 75 games, a dramatic reversal from their productive 2025 campaigns.
- Suárez is owed roughly $3 million for the remainder of the season and holds a $16 million mutual option for 2027, while Friedl is owed more than $700,000 approaching his second year of arbitration.
- Despite the waiver move, both players remain eligible to play for the Reds, who return to action on Friday; on Wednesday, Suárez hit a grand slam in Cincinnati's 10-9 comeback victory over the San Francisco Giants.
- Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported that the "likelihood" is both players will clear waivers and remain with the club, though Cincinnati may retain or designate them for assignment before the season's final month.
