McGuire cleared waivers and elected free agency Monday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports. McGuire lost his spot on the 40-man roster Saturday, and after going unclaimed on the waiver wire, he'll search for an opportunity elsewhere. He hit .172 with three RBI and one run scored over 11 games this season for the White Sox prior to choosing free agency.

Reese McGuire: Breaking News
Designated for assignment
The White Sox designated McGuire for assignment Saturday. The 31-year-old has been serving as the White Sox's backup catcher while Kyle Teel (hamstring) is on the injured list, but McGuire will lose his place on the active and 40-man rosters after slashing just .172/.273/.172 through 34 plate appearances. Drew Romo was selected from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.
Lands with White Sox
McGuire agreed to a one-year, $1.2 million contract Sunday. The 31-year-old exercised his release clause Saturday after missing out on the Brewers' Opening Day roster, and it didn't take him long to land with a new club. McGuire should serve as a veteran backup catcher to Edgar Quero with Kyle Teel (hamstring) beginning the year on the injured list.
