The Brewers reassigned Alfaro to minor-league camp Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out the 2024 season upon being cut loose by the Cubs last spring, Alfaro signed a minor-league deal with Milwaukee in January. He impressed at the dish this spring with an .887 OPS over 11 games in Cactus League play, but with William Contreras and Eric Haase ahead of him on the organizational depth chart at catcher, Alfaro didn't have much of a chance at breaking camp with the big club. He'll presumably open the season at Triple-A Nashville, where he'll likely share catching duties with prospect Jeferson Quero (shoulder).

The Brewers signed Alfaro to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Mike Rodriguez reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alfaro didn't play anywhere this past season after being released by the Cubs during spring training. The 31-year-old is a career .253/.302/.393 hitter over parts of eight big-league seasons. He will likely be assigned to Triple-A Nashville to begin the 2025 campaign.

Alfaro was released by the Cubs on Monday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alfaro agreed to a minor-league deal that included an invitation to big-league camp with Chicago in December, but he'll head to the open market after failing to make the Opening Day roster. The 30-year-old backstop appeared in 18 games a season ago across stops in Colorado and Boston, but he struggled to a .146 average (7-for-52) with one homer, four RBI and two runs scored.

The Cubs signed Alfaro to a minor-league contract Wednesday with an invitation to major-league spring training, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alfaro, 30, batted just .146/.212/.292 with one home run and 15 strikeouts in 52 major-league plate appearances last year between the Rockies and Red Sox. He'll be at least third on Chicago's organizational depth chart at catcher behind Yan Gomes and Miguel Amaya.

Alfaro signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a return to South Beach for Alfaro, who played for the Marlins from 2019-21. The 30-year-old catcher has seen brief action in the majors this season with the Red Sox and Rockies but has spent most of the year at the Triple-A level. That's where he'll report this week, joining the Marlins' affiliate in Jacksonville.

Alfaro cleared waivers and elected free agency Saturday after being designated for assignment by the Red Sox, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republicanreports.

EDGE Analysis

Alfaro appeared in eight games during his brief time with Boston and went 2-for-17 in 20 plate appearances. The veteran backstop will look to latch on elsewhere, likely via a minor-league deal.

The Red Sox designated Alfaro for assignment Tuesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alfaro spent just under a month on the Red Sox's 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, serving as the No. 2 option at catcher while Reese McGuire (oblique) was on the shelf. As anticipated, Alfaro finds himself as the odd man out with McGuire returning from the IL on Tuesday to reclaim his role as Connor Wong's top backup. Alfaro saw limited work behind Wong while he was with Boston, going 2-for-17 with two walks against three strikeouts. The 30-year-old will now be exposed to waivers and could hold some appeal for an organization looking to upgrade its catching depth.

Alfaro signed a one-year contract with the Red Sox on Thursday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alfaro caught on with the Rockies after opting out of his minor-league deal with the Red Sox last month, but he's now back with Boston after Colorado cut him loose earlier this week. The 30-year-old will back up Connor Wong at catcher while Reese McGuire (oblique) is sidelined and might also see a little action in the outfield and designated hitter.

Colorado outrighted Alfaro to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Alfaro passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment by the Rockies last Friday. He can elect to become a free agent, but it seems there has been no decision in that regard just yet. The 30-year-old catcher and corner outfielder slashed .161/.188/.387 in his 32 plate appearances with Colorado.

Alfaro was designated for assignment by the Rockies on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Alfaro slashed just .161/.188/.387 in 10 games (32 plate appearances) during his two-week stay with Colorado and now heads into DFA limbo. Austin Wynns remains the backup to starting catcher Elias Diaz.
