Reds Talking With Carlos Estevez
According to USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale, the Cincinnati Reds are engaged in talks with free-agent closer Carlos Estevez, who has saved 57 games the last two seasons with the Los Angeles Angels and Philadelphia Phillies. Estevez was a first-time All-Star in 2023 and had a career-high 31 saves that year before combining for 26 saves with the Halos and Phillies in 2024. The Phillies acquired him from the Angels at the trade deadline last summer, and he had a combined 2.45 ERA (3.24 FIP), a 0.91 WHIP and a 50:12 K:BB in his 55 relief innings. In addition to the Reds, the Red Sox, Cubs, Blue Jays, Phillies and Yankees have been linked to the 32-year-old Dominican this offseason. He's one of the top high-leverage relief arms left on the open market, but he could share closing duties with Alexis Diaz if he were to land in Cincinnati.
