Jose Trevino Signs Extension
Heyman is reporting that the Reds catcher will be signing an extension worth up to $15,000,000 for 3 years, and includes a team option. Trevino was acquired for Fernando Cruz which sparked a bunch of upset Reds fans, myself included, but that looks a lot better now that he’s extended.

Trevino is a glove first catcher and is commended by many of the pitchers he works with for his ability to lead and guide. I know we’re all hoping that Tyler Stephenson would be the one getting extended, but this ensures the Reds have a catcher under contract for the next few years.
Spring Training Trevino
Jose Trevino has been pretty terrible at the plate, especially after a scare and getting checked out after being hit by a ball. He’s slashing a mere .148/.207/.429 in 27 ABs which is pretty consistent with his offensive production for his career. He’s not a bat first guy. Nor is he ever going to be balanced.
