Cincinnati Reds Oswaldo Cabrera MLB salary arbitration utility player

The Cincinnati Reds have agreed to a one-year Major League contract with utility player Oswaldo Cabrera, allowing the team to avoid the salary arbitration process.

The deal includes a $1 million guaranteed base salary with the potential for up to $200,000 in additional bonuses related to plate appearances. Cabrera, a switch-hitter known for his defensive versatility, joined the Reds via a waiver claim from the New York Yankees in September 2026.

Cabrera has played multiple positions, including third base and various outfield spots, though he has not played catcher. The agreement provides the Reds with experienced depth for the upcoming season.
