Spencer Steer will play outfield more often than not in 2024, a move that coincidentally unlocks more versatility by reducing his versatility. Such was effectively confirmed when the Cincinnati Reds officially announced the signing of infielder Jeimer Candelario yesterday, the 30 year old putting pen to paper on a deal that will guarantee him $45 million over a trio of years that includes an additional $15 million option for the 2027 season.
MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon provided confirmation of the deal, as well as some details on how it impacts the rest of the club.
