In his MLB career, he played for the Montreal Expos, New York Mets, Florida Marlins, and Baltimore Orioles.
Before entering professional baseball, McGuire was a first-team All-American for the UCLA Bruins, for whom he is tied with Cody Decker for 7th on UCLA's all-time home run list with 47,[1] and was a standout two-way player for El Camino Real High School.[2]
