2026 Fantasy Outlook
Wynns gets the cushy role of serving as the Sunday catcher and the day game after a night game catcher behind Shea Langeliers in 2026. Wynns endeared himself to the Athletics after being acquired in-season with his work behind the plate and with the pitchers. That does not help fantasy managers, much like his bat these days. He is the prototypical second catcher behind an All-Star that will be happy doing what's asked of him and will be much more useful to those who play Immaculate Grid on a daily basis than to fantasy managers in 2026.

Inks minor-league deal with Cubs
Wynns and the Cubs agreed on a minor-league contract Tuesday.
Analysis
Wynns elected free agency after clearing waivers Thursday following the Rangers' decision to designate him for assignment last week. He will now head to Triple-A Iowa and provide the Cubs with an additional veteran option at catcher down the road this season.

Stat Review
How does Austin Wynns compare to other hitters?
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
Wynns went from the Phillies to the Giants via trade last June and wound up playing a decent amount with the big club over the final four months of the season. The 32-year-old lost his spot on the 40-man roster in January, but he remains in the organization and could get another shot if something happens to Joey Bart or Roberto Perez.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could rejoin Giants soon
Wynns could be promoted by the Giants in the near future after Joey Bart was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a mid-back strain.
Analysis
San Francisco still has two catchers on the roster with Blake Sabol and Roberto Perez, but Sabol is a Rule 5 draft pick that has yet to prove he's good enough behind the plate. The Giants also signed Gary Sanchez to a minor-league deal Friday, though he's unlikely to be game ready in the immediate future. Wynns represents a familiar veteran option that would provide some quick stability despite his offensive deficiencies.
