Does it make sense for the Reds to keep Eugenio Suarez?

Eugenio Suarez signed a one-year, $15 million deal with Cincinnati in February with a mutual $16 million option for 2027. In 2025, Suarez hit 23 home runs across 130 games with a .212 average and 104 OPS+, showing significant improvement in the second half after struggling early in the season. The article argues the Reds should decline the option, as Suarez offers only power production without strong batting average, on-base percentage, or defensive value, making $16 million too expensive for a team with limited payroll flexibility and other roster needs.
