The Milwaukee Brewers continue to strengthen their team for the upcoming season. Recently, they have reached an agreement for a campaign with Dominican catcher Gary Sánchez, according to reports.The agreement, not yet formalized by the organization, amounts to $1.75 million.Sánchez, with eleven seasons in the Major Leagues, played in 2025 with the Baltimore Orioles, participating in 29 games due to physical problems. He spent time on the injured list for wrist inflammation and a knee sprain.After his time with the New York Yankees, where he played for seven seasons, Sánchez has worn the colors of several teams, including the Minnesota Twins, the New York Mets, the San Diego Padres, and the Brewers themselves, in addition to a brief stint in the Minor Leagues with the San Francisco Giants in 2023.Despite not maintaining the offensive consistency of his early years, Sanchez has shown his power in recent seasons. In 2023, he hit 19 home runs in 72 games with San Diego.In 2025, before the injuries, he performed well in June, batting .354 with four home runs and 18 RBIs in 13 games.If he assumes the role of substitute receiver, Sánchez could bring experience and power from the bench. In his MLB career, he has a .224 average, with an on-base percentage of .309 and a slugging percentage of .461 (OPS of .770), in addition to 189 home runs and 509 RBIs in 859 games.The Dominican catcher was called to two All-Star Games (2017 and 2019), won a Silver Slugger Award and had two seasons with at least 30 home runs. In 2016, he finished second in the American League Rookie of the Year voting, with 20 home runs and an OPS of 1.032 in 53 games.With this signing, Milwaukee is betting on the experience and power of the veteran catcher as a key piece for the new season.
