Evening action in Glendale for Sean Burke’s final preseason tuneup
Sean Burke takes his last spring start, for the last home game at Camelback Ranch. | Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Four, that’s right, four days to go until the games start meaning to mean!
Until then, we’ll have to sate ourselves with whatever kind of scrap of news this is. The Chicago White Sox have agreed to terms with catcher Reese McGuire on a one-year, $1. 2-million contract.
— Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) March 22, 2026 Uh, alright? Nothing wrong with a little catching depth, I suppose? Korey Lee doesn’t have any options remaining and has had a productive spring, so he’s been a lock to make the roster the moment Kyle Teel pulled up limping in the World Baseball Classic.
The whole “$1. 2 million” thing there, though, indicates that McGuire has a real possibility of making the roster, if it’s not already foregone. This, to me, is strange, because while I’m interested to see whether Lee’s offseason hitting work has paid off, he doesn’t need to be in the lineup almost every day like both Teel and Edgar Quero do.
