Former Milwaukee Brewers Catcher Signs A Controversial 1 Year Deal (Fan Reactions)
The Milwaukee Brewers included catcher Martin Maldonado in their major league roster from 2011 to 2016. Subsequently, he played for various teams, namely the Los Angeles Angels, Houston Astros, Kansas City Royals, and the Chicago Cubs.
Despite having multiple stints with the Astros between 2017 and 2019, Maldonado established a consistent presence in Houston over the last four seasons. As the 2023 season concluded, he entered free agency, leading to the Astros signing former Brewers catcher Victor Caratini.
The decision to bring in Caratini marked the conclusion of Maldonado’s tenure with the Astros. Recently, the 37-year-old experienced free agency again, eventually signing a one-year contract with the Chicago White Sox.
Maldonado’s choice to join the White Sox sparked controversy among both fan bases. Here are reactions from supporters on both sides of the matter.

The staff is going to be very young and will do well with Maldonado’s guidance.
