2024 Fantasy Outlook
Maile has carved out a nice career for himself as a backup catcher in the league since 2015, and that career track will continue as the Reds re-signed Maile in the offseason to one-year deal with a club option. Maile's career high for plate appearances came in 2018, but has come in right around 200 plate appearances each of the past two seasons. He has value in the new era of real baseball as a good thrower beind the plate having gunned down 34% of potential basestealers while catching for both Ohio-based clubs. He has the power to barrel up mistakes, but is otherwise perfectly suited for the job he has and his fantasy value is limited to two-catcher NL-Only leagues. Read Past Outlooks
Reds decline option
The Reds declined Maile's $3.5 million club option for 2025 on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Maile slashed just .178/.268/.252 across 154 plate appearances last season, so the Reds will opt to move on from the 33-year-old backstop rather than give him a $500,000 raise from 2024.

This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2019
2017
2016
A fine defensive catcher, Maile slashed .221/.301/.326 through 206 plate appearances in 2022. He missed a handful of weeks early in the season before rejoining the Guardians and serving as backup to Austin Hedges. Maile was non-tendered by Cleveland but quickly latched on with the Reds. Cincinatti has Tyler Stephenson as its primary catcher and signed Curt Casali to be the top backup, so Maile shouldn't serve as anything more than the No. 3 option in 2023, barring injuries.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bigger role on tap?
With Manny Pina possibly set to leave Milwaukee in free agency, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports, Maile could emerge as the No. 2 catcher in 2022.
ANALYSIS
Omar Narvaez has been the team's starter, but if Pina leaves, there's an opportunity for some playing time in a backup role. Maile looked good in a brief stint for the Brewers this season, slashing .300/.382/.433 with four doubles, three RBI and six runs in 34 plate appearances, and he could get extended run in 2022.
