Cincinnati Reds Sign Jose Trevino to $14.925 Million Extension

The Cincinnati Reds have signed catcher Jose Trevino to a three-year contract extension valued at nearly $15 million, which includes a club option for the 2028 season. Trevino, acquired from the New York Yankees in December, is expected to be the starting catcher as Tyler Stephenson recovers from an oblique injury. Known for his exceptional defensive skills, Trevino earned All-Star status in 2022 and has been praised for his pitch-framing abilities. Despite a lackluster offensive performance last season, hitting just .215 with a .642 OPS, Trevino's defensive contributions are seen as vital for the team's young pitching staff. The contract extension secures Trevino's presence in Cincinnati through 2027, with his current salary maintained for the upcoming season. The Reds aim to bolster their roster as they prepare for the regular season opener against the San Francisco Giants on March 27.
