The third baseman recorded an offensive line of <strong>.228\/.298\/.526<\/strong>, with an <strong>OPS of .824<\/strong>, consolidating himself as one of the most productive power hitters in Major League Baseball.\n\nThirty-six of those home runs were hit in just <strong>106 games with the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/strong>, before being traded to the <strong>Seattle Mariners<\/strong> in a multiple-player trade during the Deadline, a move that allowed Arizona to acquire three of the best prospects from the Seattle organization.\n\nAfter arriving at the Mariners, Su\u00e1rez lowered his production in the regular season, recording an <strong>OPS of .682 in 53 games<\/strong>, although he finished strong in the postseason. After starting the 2025 playoffs with just two hits in 21 at-bats, he reacted by adding <strong>eight hits in his last seven games<\/strong>, including <strong>two home runs in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series<\/strong>, one of them a <strong>grand slam<\/strong> that gave Seattle a decisive lead in the eighth inning.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead to the 2026 season, Su\u00e1rez will begin his campaign at <strong>34 years old<\/strong> with a total of <strong>325 career home runs<\/strong>, averaging more than <strong>27 home runs per season<\/strong> in his <strong>12 years<\/strong> in the Major Leagues. He has surpassed the 30-home run mark in <strong>six of the last seven full seasons<\/strong> (excluding 2020), with the only exception being 2023, when he hit 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although his offensive profile includes a high strikeout rate \u2014<strong>29.8% in 2025<\/strong>, one of the highest among qualified hitters\u2014, Su\u00e1rez continues to be a <strong>proven impact bat<\/strong>, capable of immediately strengthening the heart of any lineup.<\/p>\n\n\nDefensively, the Venezuelan has shown solidity in recent campaigns, standing out with positive metrics of <strong>Outs Above Average (OAA)<\/strong> in 2023 and 2024, although he closed 2025 with negative numbers in the prelude.\n\nSu\u00e1rez thus returns to an organization with which he lived his best years, after having played <strong>seven seasons with Cincinnati<\/strong>, where he averaged <strong>27 home runs per season<\/strong>, before going through Seattle and Arizona in later years.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>: Cincinnati.\u2013 Venezuelan third baseman Eugenio Su\u00e1rez, considered the most impactful hitter remaining available in the free agent market, reached an agreement with the Cincinnati Reds for one season and US$15 million, with a mutual option for 2027 valued at US$16 million, according to a source to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com.
