"McGuire has over five years of big league service time and can't be optioned to the minors without his permission, so this 72-hour window gives him some time to access his options before deciding whether or not to accept a trip to the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate."
"Catching depth is enough of a need around baseball that McGuire could find another job on a team with a clearer path to MLB playing time."
"McGuire has a good reputation as a defensive catcher, and he has carved out an eight-year career with four different teams at the Major League level."
Reese McGuire has become a free agent after exercising an out clause in his minor league contract with the Brewers. He can return to the team if he doesn't sign elsewhere within 72 hours. With William Contreras as the starting catcher and Gary Sanchez signed to a guaranteed deal, McGuire's chances of making the team were slim. He has over five years of big league service time and a good reputation as a defensive catcher, making him a potential asset for other teams needing catching depth.
