Catcher Reese McGuire has exercised his release clause from the Milwaukee Brewers and will now go see if he can land with another MLB club.

McGuire has been in the Brewers' Spring Training camp, but he's going to get out and potentially go play for someone else.

In 29 at-bats, McGuire only had three hits, and one of those was a home run. 

McGuire played four seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays, then split time between the Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox in the 2022 season. McGuire stayed with the Red Sox during the 2023 and 2024 MLB seasons.

Last season, McGuire played with the Chicago Cubs. 

He has a career slash line of .248/.374/.667 with 25 career home runs and 106 career RBIs.

Curt Hogg, Brewers beat reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, posted the news on X on Saturday afternoon.

"Reese McGuire has exercised his release clause and is now free to sign with any team," Hogg wrote. "McGuire has 72 hours to explore his market with other teams. He can sign with someone else or the Brewers can bring him back at that particular point in time."

McGuire was a first-round draft pick (No. 14 overall) by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2013 MLB Amateur Draft. He's a native of Seattle and attended high school at Kentwood High School in Covington, Wash.

He's the brother of catcher Shane McGuire, who was a non-roster invitee to the Athletics' Spring Training camp this season.

In Cactus League play on Saturday, the Brewers posted a 6-1 win over the San Diego Padres at American Family Fields of Phoenix.

Jackson Chourio hit his first Spring Training home run and had two hits against Padres pitching.

Also, Andrew Fischer kept flexing his muscles at the plate. As you can see from this clip provided by the Brewers' account on X, Fischer took a pitch and rocketed it to the right-center field gap. It bounced over the wall for a ground-rule double.

Robert Gasser threw six innings of five-hit ball in picking up his first Cactus League victory this season. Gasser walked one, struck out seven, and didn't allow a run. That's some lights-out pitching from Gasser, which probably made Brewers manager Pat Murphy quite happy.

The Brewers, 12-15 now in Cactus League play, will travel on Sunday to play the Cubs. Meanwhile, the Brewers Prospects team goes to play the Athletics Prospects team.

That will put a wrap on Cactus League play.

On Monday, the Brewers will play the Cincinnati Reds at American Family Field in Milwaukee. That's a three-game exhibition series. But the 2026 MLB season officially starts on Thursday when the Brew Crew hosts the White Sox.
