It was a busy day for the Cincinnati Reds.

Earlier Friday, the Reds announced a plethora of roster changes. The moves included outright eliminations of four players – Nick Martini, Austin Wynns, Tejay Antone and Ty France – at Triple-A Louisville. France and Martini would elect free agency for their assignment to Triple-A.

Later, the Reds announced even more moves – some that will excite Reds fans and others that will make their hearts ache.

Starting with a player they will retain, the Reds announced they have re-signed left-handed pitcher Brent Suter to a one-year contract that includes a club option for 2026. The deal will pay Suter $2.25 million in 2025, with the club option in 2026 worth $3 million.

Suter, a graduate of Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati, is a beloved member of the Reds and the Cincinnati community. He made 47 appearances in 2024, where he held a 3.15 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP.

But several other players could be on the verge of leaving the Queen City.

Pitcher Nick Martinez, for starters, declined his player option and pitcher Jakob Junis declined his mutual option.

Martinez, 34, held a 3.10 ERA in 142.1 innings with the Reds. He bounced between the starting rotation and the bullpen before injuries forced him into a starting role throughout the season. Martinez excelled toward the end of the year and quickly became a fan (and clubhouse) favorite.

Junis was acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers at the trade deadline in the deal that sent Frankie Montas to Milwaukee. The right-hander made 14 appearances with the Reds, holding a 2.85 ERA in 41 innings.

Cincinnati also announced that the team had declined the club option of veteran wide receiver Luke Maile, making him a free agent as well. Despite his popularity, Maile’s play on the court hasn’t been up to par for a team with playoff aspirations.
