  "account": "Cincinnati Reds failed to attract any bids for their waiver claims of Eugenio Suárez and TJ Friedl at the MLB trade deadline, according to a source familiar with the process. Both players cleared waivers, staying with the Reds despite their low value. Suárez, a two-time MLB All-Star, hit 49 home runs last season and is set to earn $15 million for the 2022 season. Friedl, meanwhile, earned a $3.8 million arbitration deal after a strong 2019 performance. The Reds have limited roster expansion in September due to recent rule changes, making waivers an important avenue for offloading players and recouping salary costs. Both Suárez and Friedl are expected to remain with the team during their upcoming three-game series against the Cubs.",
  "summary": "The Cincinnati Reds put Eugenio Suárez and TJ Friedl on waivers this week. What that meant and what's next now that they cleared waivers.",
