"McGuire appeared in 11 games, hitting .172 without an extra-base hit across 34 plate appearances. He also had a tough time defensively, committing two passed balls and failing to throw out any of 15 base stealers."
"Players who have more than five years of MLB service time ordinarily can refuse a minor league assignment while retaining their full salary. However, some fringe roster players will sign contracts that include advance consent clauses."
"McGuire was reasonably productive on the other side of Chicago last year, popping nine homers in 44 games for the Cubs. McGuire owns a .246/.292/.369 slash line in a little over 1,000 career plate appearances."
Reese McGuire cleared outright waivers and elected free agency after being designated for assignment by the White Sox. He had a short tenure with the team, appearing in 11 games and hitting .172. McGuire struggled defensively, committing two passed balls and failing to throw out any base stealers. The White Sox were not committed to him as a backup catcher, and he has played for four teams in his nine-season career. McGuire is expected to seek a minor league contract elsewhere after his release.
