He's a negative both offensively and defensively. His one main highlight last year was working the walk in the Field of Dreams game so Tim could hit a walk-off HR. And it's not like he would necessarily get snapped up by someone else. My guess is he could clear waivers and get re-signed for AAA depth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 From what I read he keeps the balls in front of him and is a great framer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Both guys (McGuire and Collins) are former 1st round picks. Both guys are the same age. Classic change of scenery perhaps. Oh and there's been some absolute gems in this thread already. GGs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeaseAndExist Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 This is what people wanted, right? A backup C who is solid with the glove? It's odd, but not surprising to see the miserable mopes complain about this. It's a good trade that makes moving Grandal to DH 40-50 games a lot more palatable 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean McGuire was also a 1st round pick and is only a month older…if you just don’t look at the back of the jersey you can pretend like our 1st round pick catcher is on the roster 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went from a .200 ISO to 2020 Nick Madrigal the past 2 years. He's a slapdick on and off the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that they had found a solid defense back up catcher, with him. Ciuffo has a grand total of 56 major league PAs. McGuire has 400. So you can't even get a handle on Ciuffo. Plus, I assume Ciuffo still has options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick Mercedes Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 1 hour ago, chw42 said: Collins may be a better bat with a bit more of a ceiling at the plate, but he just never made enough contact to stick as a hitter. His framing and defense was also some of the worst in baseball last year. It was time to move on. Agreed, but thats a low bar. Collins is a woof hitter and always will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gradual elimination of every single first round draft pick from the active roster other than TA7 and AV (for now). Maybe better to fully write out Andrew Vaughn in this thread...

Lillian Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I just checked McGuire's split stats. He has actually hit RHP pretty well, in his short Major League career. If he's really a very good defensive catcher, it looks like a good acquisition. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 1 hour ago, KrankinSox said: I am jacked up for this trade. Really think this will help us spank the competition. Collins wasn't a jerk, but he was really starting to rub me the wrong way. Now Grandal won't have to play with himself as the only legit catcher on the roster. This will give Tony a hand when setting the lineup when Grandal needs a day off. Not sure McGuire has much of an offensive stroke, but he can handle himself behind the plate and maybe he'll whack a few out of the park. That is well done!!

The bench can be flexible though having two guys (Leury and one of Mendick/Romy) who can play just about everywhere even on a healthy 26-man roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
