The deal also includes a $3 million option for the 2026 season. The Reds chose to go this route instead of simply exercising their $3.5 million option on the left-hander for the 2025 season. Suter was one of the most reliable options in the team’s bullpen during the 2024 campaign, compiling a 3.15 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and a 50/12 K/BB ratio over 65 2/3 innings while recording a pair of saves.

Suter came on to record the final out of the sixth inning and needed just 45 pitches (33 strikes) to go the distance over the final three frames to record a rare three-plus inning save.

Suter is back for the final month after missing a little over six weeks with his shoulder sprain. The southpaw will be a multi-inning option for the Reds down the stretch.

Suter will only require a handful of minor league outings before returning to Cincinnati’s bullpen after hitting the injured list back in late July with a partial tear of the teres major muscle in his left shoulder.
