Cincinnati Reds Re-Sign Brent Suter for 2025

The Cincinnati Reds have secured left-handed reliever Brent Suter on a one-year contract worth $2.25 million, including a $3 million club option for 2026. Suter, a local player who achieved a 3.15 ERA in 47 appearances during the 2024 season, was previously under a $3.5 million option, which the team bought out for $250,000. Meanwhile, the Reds declined their option on catcher Luke Maile, who may have the possibility of returning for a new deal. Reds president Nick Krall indicated that the team is still assessing its budget and free agency options, including the potential for bringing back pitcher Nick Martinez. Additionally, right-handers Martinez and Jakob Junis have opted for free agency, further affecting the Reds' roster decisions moving forward.
