Gary Sánchez Signed to Back Up William Contreras

The Milwaukee Brewers have signed veteran catcher Gary Sánchez to a one-year, $1.75 million deal, primarily to serve as the backup catcher to William Contreras. This move provides additional depth behind Contreras, who is known for rarely coming out of the lineup. The signing also allows prospect Jeferson Quero to gain more seasoning and regular playing time in Triple-A Nashville.
