The Milwaukee Breweries they have been spoiled at the catcher position for the past decade. Jonathan Lucroy was a regular at the helm from 2010-2016, followed by Manny Pina and Martin Maldonado, Yasmani Grandal was with the team for one year, Omar Narvaez was an All-Star in 2021, and most recently William Contreras was the everyday catcher.
Of these former Brewers players, Maldonado, Grandal and Narvaez are still dynamic in the league. Maldonado plays for the Chicago White Sox, Grandal plays for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Narvaez was just released from the New York Mets in early June. One of them was in the news recently because their fans were throwing All-Star votes at them despite their horribly offensive numbers.
Chicago White Sox fans are hilariously casting All-Star votes for former Milwaukee Brewers catcher Martin Maldonado.
On X, the Barstool Sports account pointed out several fan reactions to a Chicago White Sox post that was published promoting All-Star voting despite losing 13 straight games at the time. White Sox fans trolled the idea of voting for any of their players, presenting the idea that they should all vote for Martin Maldonado. At the time of writing this post, Maldonado had a .076 batting average (over 100 plate appearances).
The White Sox had just lost their 13th straight game, setting a franchise record.
Their fans respond by writing Martin Maldonado (0.076 pick) on All Star Game voting. What a move. #VoteMaldy
