Reunites with Giants
Casali signed a one-year contract with the Giants on Wednesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Casali has spent all season with the Cubs' Triple-A affiliate, where he slashed .362/.489/.551 with 11 RBI across 88 plate appearances. He'll now return to San Francisco on a big-league contract to give the Giants depth behind the plate while Patrick Bailey (concussion) and Tom Murphy (knee) are sidelined. Blake Sabol will likely remain the primary option to start at catcher, though Casali could get the nod whenever the Giants are matched up against a left-handed starter.

Stat Review
How does Curt Casali 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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fit for Cubs
The Cubs are looking for a defense-first catcher and Casali is a logical choice, opines Patrick Mooney of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The Cubs already have Yan Gomes on the roster and could add another veteran like Casali to the mix. Gomes is 35 and Casali is 34 and both hit right-handed, so it seems that it's more likely that they would split the duties behind the plate rather than operate as a platoon. The Giants have also been connected to Casali in free agency this year.

2015
Casali is the textbook definition of a backup catcher. He's appeared in the big leagues for nine consecutive years but has never received more than 256 plate appearances in a given season. He came to the plate 176 times for the Giants and Mariners last season and hit .203/.318/.331, good for a passable 92 wRC+, an exact match for his career mark. Being within striking distance of league-average at the plate while playing half your games at Great American Ball Park gives Casali a path to at least temporary fantasy value should Tyler Stephenson (who was limited to 50 games last season) get injured. Casali has had success in Cincinnati before, hitting .260/.345/.440 across 485 plate appearances from 2018 through 2020, so there's reason to be optimistic. Of course, he's also now 34 years old, so a step back is more likely than a return to his peak numbers.
