"MacIver was drafted in the ninth round of the 2018 draft by the Colorado Rockies. He spent six seasons in the organization, matching a career-best 15 home runs in 369 plate appearances with their Triple-A team in 2024."
"In his limited time in the big leagues, MacIver had -3 Defensive Runs Saved and -2 Fielding Run Value in 249 innings. This looks like a pure depth move for the team."
The Blue Jays acquired catcher Willie MacIver from the Texas Rangers for cash considerations. MacIver, a 29-year-old, was designated for assignment. He was drafted by the Rockies in 2018 and had a strong minor league season in 2024. After signing with the Athletics, he made his MLB debut but struggled offensively. The trade addresses depth concerns following Alejandro Kirk's injury, as the team needed a reliable catcher to support their roster.
