Danny Jansen

McGuire augments Chicago's catching depth heading into spring training. The 29-year-old backstop lost his starting job last year in Boston to Connor Wong before being shipped to the minors by early August after the club acquired Danny Jansen. He's a decent early-season emergency depth option for the Cubs behind Miguel Amaya and Carson Kelly in case top prospect Moises Ballesteros isn't ready to ascend to the majors right away.

Rortvedt was the starting catcher for the Rays for a brief moment in 2024 but that seems unlikely to be duplicated in 2025 with Danny Jansen now in town. Rortvedt is a good defensive catcher and competent enough as a hitter that he makes for a fine backup, but he should remain off fantasy radars.
