The 32-year-old Latino professional baseball catcher and the Cincinnati Reds have agreed on a three-year contract extension through the 2027 season.
The deal, which includes a club option for 2028, is worth $15 million, sources confirmed to ESPN, and includes $11.5 million in newly guaranteed money.
He’ll begin the season as the Reds top catcher. Tyler Stephenson is sidelined by an oblique injury; he last played March 11, was scratched the following day and had an MRI on March 13.
Trevino, who was set to become a free agent at the end of the season, hit eight home runs with 28 RBIs in 73 games for the New York Yankees last season. He was acquired by the Reds in December for right-hander Fernando Cruz and catcher Alex Jackson.
In seven major league seasons, Trevino is a career .236 hitter with a .637 OPS, 32 home runs and 141 RBIs in 399 games with the Texas Rangers (2018-21) and New York Yankees.
An MLB All-Star and a Gold Glove Award winner in 2022, he was 1-for-5 with a walk in four postseason games last fall.
