Reds Cut Ties with Jeimer Candelario Despite $22.5 Million Commitment—What’s Next for the Struggling Star?

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 opt for free agency and look for a team that needs infield depth for the prorated major league minimum salary. Or the Reds could release him before that five-day period finishes.
