Walkers news: Deal brings in veteran catcher McGuire for prospect
Looking to add a bit of leadership, the St. Louis River Walkers have traded for 30-year old catcher Reese McGuire of the Madison Muskies.
In exchange, St. Louis gave up 24-year-old outfielder Nick Hunt who was playing at AA Springfield.
McGuire has played in 27 games this season for the Muskies, batting .203 with two homers and 11 RBIs.
Hunt, primarily a corner outfielder, was hitting .253 with nine homers and 40 RBIs this season for the Cardinals.
It is uncertain what the Walkers intend to do with Austin Barnes, their current backup to starting catcher Jared Thomas.
