The Chicago Cubs have a lot of difficult decisions to make this offseason. Be it Shota Imanaga's complicated set of options or Kyle Tucker's impending free agency, the team needs to act fast to determine which players will be back with the franchise next year.
One choice that isn't quite so glamorous is Reese McGuire's upcoming trip through arbitration. It's his final one before reaching free agency, and yet MLB Trade Rumors pegs his projected salary at just $1.9 million. For a quality backup backstop, that's hardly going to break the bank.
And a good backup catcher is exactly what McGuire proved himself to be in 2025.
