CINCINNATI — The Reds are interested in free agent reliever Carlos Estévez according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

The Blue Jays and Yankees are also interested in the All-Star.

Estévez, 32, is one of the best free agent relievers available. Estévez posted a 3.90 ERA with 31 saves and a plus 27.8% strikeout rate for the Angels in 2023. He was off to an even stronger start last year, posting a 2.38 ERA prior to the trade line. That dipped to 2.57 after the Angels traded him to the Phillies.

If the Reds could land Estévez, it would give them another proven arm in the bullpen.
