Jeimer Candelario Signs 3-Year, $45M Deal with Reds

Since the Cubs have remained mostly silent so far this offseason, the only impact on their 2024 chances has come from what other teams are doing. The Reds seem to be moving on a nearly parallel track when it comes to the pursuit of short-term pitching via trade, and now they may have increased the likelihood of such a move by signing former Cub Jeimer Candelario. In a deal that surprised a lot of folks, Candelario inked a three-year, $45 million guarantee with a club option that could push it to $60 million over four years.
