The Cincinnati Reds have placed third baseman Eugenio Suárez and outfielder TJ Friedl on waivers as they prepare for the 2027 season. This decision comes after the team was eliminated from postseason contention. Suárez, a two-time All-Star, has struggled this season with a.208 batting average and 19 home runs. The Reds are seeking to save payroll costs with this move, as Suárez has roughly $3 million remaining on his contract. Both players remain eligible to play for the Reds during the 48-hour waiver period.
