Jorge Alfaro signed a major-league contract with the Washington Nationals after opting out of a minor-league deal with the Brewers. Alfaro has not played in the majors since 2023 but hit .244/.285/.430 with 15 home runs and 12 steals in 326 Triple-A plate appearances in 2025. His Triple-A profile featured a low 3.4% walk rate and a high 36.5% strikeout rate. Washington lost Keibert Ruiz (concussion) and Drew Millas (fractured finger) to the injured list, leaving Riley Adams and C.J. Stubbs as current catchers. Alfaro owns a career .253/.302/.393 line (86 wRC+) across eight major-league seasons and 1710 plate appearances.
Alfaro, a CAA client, is signing a major league contract, Golden adds. The 32-year-old Alfaro hasn't appeared in the majors since 2023. He appeared in 82 games and tallied 326 plate appearances with the Brewers' Nashville affiliate in 2025, hitting .244/.285/.430 with 15 home runs and a dozen steals. Alfaro walked in only 3.4% of his plate appearances with Milwaukee's Triple-A club and also fanned at an alarming 36.5% clip.
Despite those troubling rate stats, Alfaro will get the opportunity to return to the big leagues with the Nats. Washington has lost both Keibert Ruiz (concussion) and Drew Millas (fractured finger) to the injured list in recent weeks. Riley Adams and C.J. Stubbs are currently handling catching duty in D.C. In parts of eight major league seasons, Alfaro is a .253/.302/.393 hitter (86 wRC+) through 1710 trips to the plate.
