The Milwaukee Brewers re-signed catcher Gary Sánchez to a one-year deal, bringing back a veteran with offensive upside despite injury concerns.

The Milwaukee Brewers have signed veteran catcher Gary Sánchez to a one-year, $1.75 million contract, reuniting him with the team after his 2024 stint. Sánchez, 33, returns to provide backup depth behind William Contreras, though his health remains a concern after limited playing time in 2025 due to injuries. The move adds experience and offensive power, particularly as a part-time designated hitter. Meanwhile, several players, including Francisco Lindor, Corbin Carroll, and Jackson Holliday, will begin the 2026 season on the injured list after hamate fracture surgeries, and pitcher Reese Olson will miss the entire season due to shoulder surgery. The Dodgers re-signed reliever Evan Phillips, and the Orioles’ rotation remains unchanged, projected as the 17th-best in MLB despite not adding top-tier starting pitchers.
