27-Year-Old CatcherC
Sacramento Athletics AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
McCann spent last season backing up Shea Langeliers. Compared to other No. catchers, McCann should have played more but Langeliers squatted for the second most games in MLB last season. McCann's 102 wRC+ was better than many starting backstops. He fanned a bloated 37.6 percent of the time, but a fortunate .368 BABIP rescued his average, while a high 12.3 percent Barrel Rate drove power. Even so, McCann outpointed his expected numbers, so repeating last season's production will be a challenge. He's slated to serve as Langeliers' understudy again this season, relegating McCann to AL-only formats. Read Past Outlooks

Loses out in roster battle
CSacramento Athletics  AAA
March 10, 2025
The Athletics reassigned McCann to minor-league camp Monday.
ANALYSIS
McCann spent the entire 2024 season on Oakland's active roster as a backup catcher and slashed .236/.318/.371 with five home runs and 15 RBI over 157 plate appearances, but he was designated for assignment in January and later outrighted to the minors upon clearing waivers. McCann still received an invitation to big-league camp and was once again given the chance to compete for a backup gig behind No. 1 backstop Shea Langeliers, but the Athletics seem content to move forward with either Jhonny Pereda and Tyler Soderstrom as Langeliers' understudy. Look for McCann to spend most of the upcoming season at Triple-A Las Vegas.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could win backup catcher job
COakland Athletics  AAA
March 15, 2023
McCann is "probably the most improved player in our organization from last year to this year," Athletics manager Mark Kotsay on Wednesday told Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle.
ANALYSIS
McCann hasn't hit much in the minors to this point, but he improved his conditioning over the offseason and has impressed the coaching staff this spring. It could lead to him winning the backup catcher job behind Shea Langeliers as Manny Pina recovers from a wrist injury. Top prospect Tyler Soderstrom is also still in camp, but it seems unlikely the A's would keep him around without a full-time role.
