Eugenio Suárez came of age in a Cincinnati Reds uniform. All it cost to bring him over from the Detroit Tigers was one year of Alfredo Simon, who was on his last legs and posted a 5.05 ERA in Detroit. Suárez spent seven years in Cincinnati, slashing .253/.335/.476 while crushing 189 dingers. Talk about a steal!
Geno was also a fan-favorite in Cincinnati, as he's been at every other stop along his career. And with the Reds searching desperately for power, it makes sense that, as one of the best power bats on the market, a reunion with him would seem logical.
