• Reds' Jake Fraley: Homers Sunday

  Rotowire Mar 3, 2025

  Fraley went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's spring game against the Cubs. Fraley launched his first homer and stole his first base in Cactus League action Sunday. At the very least, he'll be in the lineup against right-handers this season; the outfielder has a .504 OPS in 229 career plate appearances against southpaws. If healthy, Fraley's in line for 110-120 games, which is enough for him to post 20-plus steals, as he's done in each of the last two seasons.

  The Reds and Fraley avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.125 million contract Thursday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. It was Fraley's second year of arbitration eligibility. The 29-year-old reached 20 stolen bases in 2024 but fell off to just five home runs over a career-high 116 games. He should be a strong-side platoon player again for Cincinnati in 2025.

The 29-year-old has started each of the Reds last 13 games and has a hit in 11 of those games with a .333 batting average in that span.
