[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Sung-yeol] Reese McGuire (24), the catcher of the Toronto Blue Jays in Major League Baseball, where Ryu Hyun-jin (32) belongs, was arrested for indecent exposure.

Sports media outlet 'Sportsnet' reported on the 13th (Korean time) that Toronto catcher Reese McGuire was arrested for indecent exposure last weekend.

According to Sportsnet, McGuire was arrested by local police on the afternoon of the 8th in a public parking lot outside the Dunedin Strip Mall in Florida, USA, after exposing part of his body inside his SUV.

McGuire is scheduled to appear in court on March 16.

On the 12th, Toronto officially announced, "We are aware of the police incident involving McGuire," adding, "We are gathering more information and will not comment further."

Meanwhile, McGuire, who debuted in the 2018 season, recorded a batting average of 0.299, 5 home runs, and 11 RBIs over 30 games last year, showing good batting performance despite being a catcher.

This season, he was expected to work with catcher Danny Jansen (24) and Ryu Hyun-jin, but his participation in games has become uncertain due to this incident.
