Rest-of-Season Projections
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
Continuing career south of border
McCann signed a contract Friday with Mexican League club Piratas de Campeche.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old McCann spent all of last season in the big leagues as the Athletics' No. 2 catcher, slashing .236/.318/.371 with five home runs, 15 RBI and 13 runs over 157 plate appearances. McCann was dropped from the Athletics' 40-man roster in February, but he stuck around with the organization for spring training and received the chance to compete for the backup catching job. After Jhonny Pereda emerged as the victor in the job battle, McCann was released shortly before the start of the season, but he's finally settled on a new home about a month and a half after hitting the open market. A strong showing in Mexico could serve as a springboard for McCann to potentially catch on with an MLB club later on this season or in 2026.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could win backup catcher job
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.
