When the Boston Red Sox today traded reliever Jordan Hicks and most of his contract to the Chicago White Sox, I wondered if it was a precursor to third baseman Eugenio Suarez finally signing. He’s not the defensive upgrade the Red Sox have reportedly been looking for, but it might be a beggars and choosers situation for them at this point, if they don’t want to pay an outrageous trade price to some other team.
Well, the trade did indeed immediately precede a Suarez signing, but not with the Red Sox. It’s with the Reds:
Slugger Eugenio Suárez and the Cincinnati Reds are in agreement on a one-year, $15 million contract that includes a mutual option for the 2027 season, sources tell ESPN. The best bat left on the market goes to Cincinnati, where he's expected to get most of his at-bats at DH.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) February 1, 2026Oof. You know why oof? Because Eugenio Suarez, as a Cincinnati Red, absolutely KILLED THE CUBS AT ALL TIMES. It will not be fun to see him once again in the NL Central doing it again. Because you know he will. (Getting to hear Pat Hughes say AY-OO-HAY-NEE-OH again is only a small consolation.)
More to the point, this was an area where the Reds could really stand to upgrade (a corner-infield bat or DH type), and this is going to be a significant boost to their offense on a cheap deal.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox will have to look elsewhere in the infield – or, that is to say, they will continue to look elsewhere:
Eugenio Suárez was between the Reds and Pirates at the end, source says, with the Red Sox not playing a meaningful role in his market.

The Cubs are not moving Nico Hoerner. We had Jed Hoyer on this week. He will be a Cub on Opening Day. t.co/KDPSStyzN0
