The Pirates’ interest in Eugenio Suarez was serious enough that they offered him a deal with the same average annual value of $15 million and were willing to go higher, per source.
I'm told they made it clear that they were willing to discuss additional terms and years, but Suarez ultimately decided to return to the Reds on a one-year deal and play in a hitters ballpark with a chance to cash in again next year. His contract with Cincinnati, a team he spent seven seasons with from 2015-21, includes a mutual option for 2027.
