• Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Signs with Baltimore

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Sanchez signed a one-year, $8.5 million contract with the Orioles on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Sanchez spent the 2024 season with the Brewers and was a decent source of power, popping 11 homers and maintaining a .172 ISO across 280 plate appearances. He should be locked into the backup job behind the plate while also potentially picking up a few extra starts at designated hitter.

• Gary Sanchez: Crew declines option

  11/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Brewers declined Sanchez's $11 million mutual option for 2025 on Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Sanchez slashed .220/.307/.392 across 280 plate appearances in 2024 while serving as Milwaukee's backup catcher behind William Contreras. Rather than keeping Sanchez in town for another year on an $8 million raise, the Brewers will move on from the 31-year old backstop and perhaps look to Eric Haase to fill his place. Meanwhile, Sanchez's power bat may draw attention from several teams this offseason.

Sanchez got his first hit since Aug. 25, after he had gone 0-for-15 in his previous five games. The 31-year-old catcher has now hit 10 or more home runs in each of the last nine seasons.

In his place, Jake Bauers will serve as the designated hitter and bat fourth.
