Inks deal with Cincinnati Myers agreed to a one-year, $7.5 million contract with the Reds on Thursday, which includes a mutual option for 2024, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact San Diego declined Myers' $20 million club option for 2023 at the end of the season, and he'll continue his career in Cincinnati. The 32-year-old was limited to 77 games last season due to a knee injury and had a .261/.315/.398 slash line. He split most of his playing time between right field and first base last year, but he'll likely work mostly in the outfield for the Reds with Joey Votto at first base.

Club option declined Myers will become a free agent after the Padres declined to exercise their club option on his contract for 2023 on Monday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact In an expected move, the Padres decided to not pick up the $20 million option they had on Myers for the upcoming season and instead let him go free onto the open market. After signing a six-year, $83 million contract with San Diego in 2017, the outfielder will likely head elsewhere this offseason. Myers battled a right knee injury in 2022, limiting him to just 77 games. Over those contests, he produced a .261 average with seven homers, 41 RBI, 29 runs and two stolen bases while striking out 30.1 percent of the time.
