Reds designate Jeimer Candelario for assignment, still owing him $22.5 million through 2026

The Cincinnati Reds announced on Monday that infielder Jeimer Candelario has been designated for assignment by the team. In doing so, the Reds will still pay the 10-year major leaguer the remaining $22.5 million he's owed on the final year and a half on his contract Candelario, 31, was batting .113/.198/.213 with two doubles, two home runs and 10 RBI in 91 plate appearances this season. He had just finished a minor-league rehab assignment while finishing out an injured list stint for a lumbar spine strain. Rather than add him back to the active roster, the Reds decided to cut ties with the underperforming veteran. 'At the end of the day, you have to look at it as a sunk cost because you can't bring a player that's not going to help his team win,' Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall told The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans. Advertisement While Cincinnati isn't getting impactful production from Spencer Steer (.230/.287/.352, 6 HR) at first base or Santiago Espinal (.244/.295/.290) and Christian Encarnacion-Strand (.202/.229/.384, 5 HR) at third base, all three players are less expensive and younger. Steer and Encarnacion-Strand started at their positions for Monday's matchup with the New York Yankees. Candelario signed a three-year, $45 million free agent deal with the Reds in December 2023 after hitting .251 with an .807 OPS and 22 home runs for the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs. The $22.5 million he's owed by Cincinnati comes from the remainder of his $16 million salary for this season, next year's $13 million and a $3 million buyout from an $18 million mutual option for 2027. The Reds have five days to explore a trade, but no MLB team will likely want to pick up that $22.5 million. Especially when Candelario wasn't hitting well on his rehab assignment, batting just .211/.318/.333 in 15 games. The same applies if a team were to claim Candelario on waivers. So he will likely become a free agent and look for a team that needs infield depth for the prorated major league minimum salary. In his 10 MLB seasons, Candelario has batted .237/.315/.411 with 190 doubles, 110 home runs and 384 RBI with the Cubs, Detroit Tigers, Nationals and Reds.

Mets top prospect is on a tear and keeps knocking on MLB's door

Expectations can feel like chains. For the New York Mets, those chains are made of missed opportunities and almost-moments. With a 108 wRC+, the Mets offense ranks in the league's top ten, a respectable place statistically. But respectability isn't what fans were promised. Advertisement This was supposed to be a juggernaut — a lineup that instilled fear, not just mild concern. And yet, something's missing. They're producing, sure, but not with the power or persistence needed to turn good into great, or great into unforgettable. Mets hitters have dazzled at times. There have been flashes, firework innings, brief streaks that made fans believe again. But like a match struck in the wind, the fire never quite catches. The light fades. And it keeps happening. The offense has been just solid enough to obscure its flaws but not potent enough to erase them. This team doesn't lack talent. What it lacks is a consistent force — someone to stir the pot, to kick the door open. Advertisement And there's someone banging on that door from Syracuse, bat in hand, with numbers that demand attention. MLB: Spring Training-Tampa Bay Rays at New York Mets Ronny Mauricio is mashing and making noise in Triple-A If baseball had a comeback player of the week award, Ronny Mauricio would win it by a landslide — maybe even two. Back from a torn ACL that wiped out the end of 2023 and all of his 2024, he's not just healthy. He's roaring. Since rejoining Triple-A Syracuse, Mauricio has slashed an astonishing .560/.586/.960 with three home runs in just seven games. He's not just hitting — he's punishing pitchers. He's been on base 17 times in 29 plate appearances. That's video game stuff. Advertisement Mike Mayer of X (formerly Twitter) captured it succinctly: 'Ronny Mauricio has homered again. He's been on base three times…' He's doing all this with stolen bases, runs scored, RBIs, and a confident swagger that says, 'I'm ready.' This is the Mauricio the Mets once saw as their future: a switch-hitting infielder with 20-20 upside and a rocket arm. That potential got derailed by injury, and his 2023 MLB cameo — where he hit just .248 with a 79 wRC+ — felt underwhelming. But context matters. He was still learning the league, learning his role — and learning to trust his knee again. Now? He's trusted it. He's tested it. And every swing, every sprint, every celebration tells us: the knee is fine. Credit: Mandatory Credit: Rich Storry-USA TODAY Sports He's more than depth — he might be the spark the Mets need Depth is nice, but fire is better. The Mets have plenty of the former. They need the latter. Advertisement Mauricio isn't just another utility piece or a future asset. He's a right-now solution for a right-now team. Think of the Mets offense like a stalled engine. It sputters, hums briefly, then goes quiet. Mauricio might be the jumper cable. He brings youth, energy, and hunger — the kind that's hard to quantify but impossible to ignore when it hits the field. Is it a risk to promote him again so soon? Sure. But stagnation is a bigger risk than trusting a hungry, high-upside talent. Ronny Mauricio was once a can't-miss prospect. Maybe the only thing that's changed is the timing. And maybe, just maybe, that time is now. Popular reading: Mets badly need superstar outfielder to break out of ugly slump

Diamondbacks sign veteran catcher James McCann to 1-year deal

Arizona signed James McCann to a major league contract following his release from the Atlanta Braves, and the 35-year-old catcher joined the Diamondbacks on Monday for their game against the Chicago White Sox. Arizona also designated catcher Aramis Garcia for assignment. McCann agreed to a one-year contract for the $760,000 minimum while in the major leagues and $180,000 while in the minors. With 99 days remaining in the season, McCann would receive $404,516 should he remain in the majors the rest of the way. He signed a minor league deal with the Braves on April 8 and was released Sunday, which allowed him to sign with Arizona. Over 41 games with Triple-A Gwinnett, he hit .297 with six homers and 30 RBIs. A second-round draft pick in 2011 by Detroit, McCann has played 11 seasons in the majors with the Tigers (2014-18), White Sox (2019-20), Mets (2021-22) and Orioles (2023-24). He has batted .241 over his career with 92 homers and 373 RBIs. McCann was selected to the 2019 All-Star Game. That season with the White Sox, he set career highs in hits (120), homers (18) and RBIs (60). ___ AP baseball:
