SI Insider: The Stunning Turnaround of James McCann

The Tigers let James McCann go two years ago and now he is one of the most sought-after free agents on the market.

The free agent catcher has had an extreme renaissance during the past two years as the backstop for the Chicago White Sox, with top of the line pitch-framing stats and an offensive line that puts him in league with J.T. Realmuto, the top catcher in baseball.

SI senior writer Tom Verducci breaks down the turnaround of McCann and explains why so many contending teams have him on their radar this offseason.
