• Jorge Alfaro: Becomes free agent

  10/31/2025 • By RotoWire

  Alfaro elected to become a free agent Friday. The Nationals removed Alfaro from their 40-man roster, and the veteran catcher declared free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. Alfaro slashed .256/.256/.308 in 14 games with the Nats this season and will likely have to settle for a minor-league contract this winter.

  The Nationals signed Alfaro to a one-year contract Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports. Alfaro recently opted out of his minor-league deal with the Brewers after slashing .244/.285/.430 with 15 home runs and 12 stolen bases with Triple-A Nashville. He'll give the Nationals an experienced catcher with Keibert Ruiz (concussion) still working his way back and Drew Millas (finger) out for the season.

  Alfaro opted out of his minor-league contract with the Brewers on Monday and was granted his release, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Alfaro has spent the entire 2025 season at Triple-A Nashville, slashing .244/.285/.430 with 15 home runs and 12 stolen bases over 326 plate appearances. With the 32-year-old catcher being denied a promotion to the majors to begin September, Alfaro will now look to find an opportunity elsewhere before the season winds down.

• Brewers' Jorge Alfaro: Cut loose from big-league camp

  03/19/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Brewers reassigned Alfaro to minor-league camp Wednesday. After sitting out the 2024 season upon being cut loose by the Cubs last spring, Alfaro signed a minor-league deal with Milwaukee in January. He impressed at the dish this spring with an .887 OPS over 11 games in Cactus League play, but with William Contreras and Eric Haase ahead of him on the organizational depth chart at catcher, Alfaro didn't have much of a chance at breaking camp with the big club. He'll presumably open the season at Triple-A Nashville, where he'll likely share catching duties with prospect Jeferson Quero (shoulder).
