Brewers Showing Interest in Reese McGuire
The Milwaukee Brewers are "involved on" free-agent catcher Reese McGuire, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive. Cotillo opened his report by saying that McGuire would be heading somewhere other than the Red Sox, and he proceeded to identify the Brewers as a potential landing spot. As a result, the two sides could be working toward a deal, but nothing is finalized yet. McGuire spent last season with the Chicago Cubs, splitting time between the majors and Triple-A. Through 45 games at the big-league level, he slashed .226/.245/.444 with a 2.9% walk rate, 19.3% strikeout rate, and 86 wRC+. He launched a career-high nine home runs, but his .355 xSLG indicates that he's due for some major power regression. McGuire's offense has plateaued into nothing special as he reaches his early thirties, but his defense behind the plate remains serviceable, at the very least. In 2025, he posted 2.6 framing runs while throwing out eight of 31 base-stealers.
