Reds sign Trevino to 3-year extension reportedly worth almost $15M
The Cincinnati Reds and veteran catcher Jose Trevino agreed to a three-year contract extension, the club announced Thursday.
The deal is worth almost $15 million and comes with a club option, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network.
The Reds acquired Trevino from the New York Yankees for Fernando Cruz and Alex Jackson in December.
The 32-year-old is expected to be the Reds' starting catcher on Opening Day after Tyler Stephenson sustained an oblique injury.
Trevino is an excellent defensive catcher, ranking in the 95th percentile in framing and the 88th percentile in blocks above average last season. His best season came in 2022 when he made his only All-Star Game and earned a Gold Glove and a Platinum Glove for his efforts behind the plate.
Trevino hit .215 with a .642 OPS, eight home runs, and 28 RBIs across 73 games for the Yankees in 2024.
